Zakinthos - one love! Zakynthos - one love!

Hello! I would like to tell you how great I spent my vacation on the island of Zakynthos. Firstly, Greece just bugged me. I am here for the first time and I can say with confidence that I have not seen more beautiful places - although I have visited many countries of the Mediterranean Sea. On Zakynthos you will be greeted by amazingly beautiful nature, gentle and gentle sun, calm and beautiful Ionian Sea and incredibly friendly and hospitable Greeks. But without further ado, I'll start the "analysis" of the place of my rest.
I stayed at the Konstantin Beach Hotel in the village of Alykes. It has a wide and bright area planted with a variety of plants, a pleasing to the eye design of the hotel and a clean area. The hotel is located in two parts, separated by a swimming pool. The main pool (1.5 m) is complemented by a jacuzzi and a children's pool (40 cm). On its territory there are showers where you can rinse after the sea, sunbeds and umbrellas (free of charge). And the entrance to the sea is just perfect: it is gentle, even, with light pebbles and dense sand further on. The sea itself is a fairy tale. It is quiet, gentle, warm and pleases with its blue and turquoise tints. The view from my room was also the sea. In the evenings, I sat on the balcony and saw off the sunsets.
The number satisfied me completely. Spacious enough and equipped with only the most necessary: ​ ​ air conditioning (6 euros per day), safe (free of charge), hair dryer, TV, telephone by which you can contact the reception, comfortable bed, comfortable furniture and high-quality plumbing. Small bottles of shampoo and shower gel filled the room only upon arrival. The room was cleaned every day, and towels and bed linen were changed every three days. The hotel has an all inclusive system and it was possible to take coffee, tea, water, juices, soft drinks, beer, wine and some high-grade alcohol at the bar from 11:00 to 23:00.

Ate in buffet style. It is quite diverse: there was meat, poultry, fish, a lot of side dishes, fresh vegetables, author's salads, desserts and fruits. However, I would like more whole fruits, and not watermelons, melons, nectarines and oranges cut into a salad)
I loved walking around the village of Alykes and always found something interesting in it, especially among the restaurants and taverns. Of all the variety, I liked the restaurant "Fidelio", which serves the most delicious seafood, chicken, turkey, meat steaks and much more. The prices there are very good, from 9 euros per person you can just overeat. I liked the seafood pasta and the juicy grilled salmon steak. Alykes also has a concentration of souvenir shops, ATMs, supermarkets and much more. But I always bought bottled water and other products in the supermarket "Sydney" 50 meters from the hotel - it is the closest and the prices there are much better. But if you want to find something worthwhile from souvenirs, then there is only one way for you - to the capital of the island, the city of Zakynthos. On the main pedestrian street of Alexandra Roma there are shopping arcades where you can buy souvenirs, clothes, jewelry, leather goods and much more. You can get to the capital from Alykes by regular bus for 1.80 euros. Or you can order a taxi, but the prices are just cosmic - 25 euros one way.
On the island I had a purely passive holiday. But after a few days, I wanted to diversify my vacation, and I went on a cruise to the habitat of turtles Carriage Carriage. The cruise was busy but not stressful. For 4 hours we made a boat trip in the bay of Laganas, looking for turtles, swimming in the grottoes of the island of Marathonisi and the most beautiful grottoes on the island - the blue caves of Keri. Then a delicious lunch was waiting for us right on board the ship. I will never forget these beautiful landscapes and the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Konstantin Beach Hotel, namely the owner of the hotel - Konstantin. He is a sensitive, attentive young man who always promptly responded to my requests and could keep up the conversation about absolutely everything in the world. Thanks to my hotel guide Xenia for the smiles and help in resolving my issues throughout the rest. I will definitely come back to Zakynthos again, this island is my love forever!
