Western Greece, Ionian Islands & Peloponnese Travel Guide

If you are ever in Malta you must see The Blue Grotto!  It is phenomenally beautiful!

The beach of Navagio or Shipwreck or even Zakynthos smugglers cove is the most famous of Zakynthos beaches and one of the most famous of all Greece. It is the trademark of the island and has been photographed millions of times. This superb beach is located in the eastern part of the island, close to the Anafotiria village.
It was initially called Agios Georgios but owes its new name to the shipwreck of a boat that transported illegal cigarettes, in 1983. The deep sea left the remains of the ship on this beach.   With the years passing, the sand completely surrounded the ship which looks now as if it was emerging of it. The vestiges of the ship can be seen in the middle of the large white sandy beach which has amazing turquoise and crystalline waters.
Huge vertical cliffs of white rocks are surrounding the sand creating a unique and enchanting image. To reach this paradise, one has to take a little boat from the small port of Porto Vromi. Those taxi-boats are leaving every hour and the trip is about 30 minutes.

*Danger/Annoyances: Be Careful On The Roads, On Buses, Crossing The Street.
*Food/Restaurants: Not Much Of A Selection In General. Good Food Costs Good Money. Try Buying Groceries & Make Yourself A Meal When You Can.
*Hotel & Accom.: Many Hotels Have Very Bad Outdated Sewage Systems, Smells Can Be Bad All Day. Best Place I Stayed Was The "Pink Palace" Hostel - Amazing People & Amazing Party!
*Transportation: Rent An Atv. I Spent My Week Traveling All Of Corfu On A Atv. Be Sure To Have A Map & Fill The Gas Often.
*Nightlife: Aside From The "Pink Palace" There Wasn't Much Nightlife To Brag About & The Bartenders, Waitress's, Etc.. Have A Habit Of Putting Down Any European That Looks Turkish, Arabic, Etc.. Not To Your Face But To Any Half Decent Looking People. Beware Outside Of Clubs For Peddlers
*General Impressions: Although I Enjoyed Corfu, It's Not A Place I Would Ever Return To Or Recommend. People Of Corfu Where Generally Very Rude, Un-Educated, Rarely Spoke English, Not Very Helpful, Etc..
*Landscapes: The Land Is Very Beautiful. Many Mountains & Very Beautiful Beaches That Were 9 Out Of 10 Times Without Many People.
