We stayed on the island of Zakynthos, which is west of the mainland and below Corfu. It's known as a party island, which we saw first hand and especially frequented by young British tourists. There were also lots of Eastern Europeans and as far as I could tell we were the only Americans there.
Dan, Terri and I (the old members of the Wolfpack) ventured to other parts of the island frequently, with one of the highlights the day we rented scooters and explored Zante City and other beaches away from our area. We were able to eat lots of good food although the red wine in Greece is horrible.
We had a lot of fun in Zakynthos, although you can see how hard hit the economy is, and parts of the island is a bit run down and abandoned. The water is amazing, and we all took a boat cruise around the island one day and saw the most breathtaking caves, cliffs, and other scenery. As I was named after my Greek great-grandfather, Greece held a special place for me personally.
I met several people on this trip including a few ladies from Prauge who invited me to the Czech Republic anytime I want, which is always nice to develop friends in other parts of the world. Our little Wolfpack group has many funny stories from this trip that will never be repeated but will create great lifelong memories!!!
