Zakynthos, Greece - 22 to 29 June 2006 
Olympia, Greece  
Zakynthos, June 2006

We managed to get away for a well earned break to the Greek island of Zakythos at the end of June.

We stayed at a great family run hotel, Hotel Clio, in Alykes. We took a couple of day trips, one to Olympia on mainland Greece and the other to the neighbouring island of Kefalonia. We also had a go at parascending from the back of a speedboat and went on a pony trek through the olive groves above Zakynthos Town.
