This island is really beautiful. The Steinbergs rejoined us after taking a day off on a tour to Olympia while we sailed to Keri bay on the South tip of Zakinthos.
Then we motored to one of the most famous beaches in Greece - Wreck Bay. Most of the pictures attached to this post are from this super special bay. It surpasses in beauty the thousands of pictures that were taken there (including ours...). The huge cliffs, the florescent light blue water, the white sand, and the sunken ship also adds to it.
Passing through the blue caves we stopped for the night at Agios Nikolaos. There's a very nice family with their son, Dimitri, that runs a restaurant, a gas station, supplies water and electricity and in day time doing cruises to the blue caves. We had a few slices of the 35kg tuna fish he caught that day. The only problem was that East wind started and some swell made its way into this natural bay and we were pitching heavily all night... Other than that it's a great place to stay. The following day, after not being able to really visit the caves due to the East wind, we went back to Agios Nikolaos and then while searching for a swimming spot behind the island we found a charming little beach where we could anchor no more than 30m from the beach with very calm, crystal clear water. When you swim back from the boat, you'd see her rudder dozens of meters away. This was an amazing, unexpected last swim for the family in Greece.
Then, going back to Zakinthos town, our last leg with the family, we had a chance to put on the spinnaker and sail quietly and nicely into the sunset over Zakinthos. This is what I call a finale!
Yael, Noga and Yasmin, and the Steinbergs flew back home, left me here waiting for the crew to join me tomorrow. We're going to sail Princess Nayeli back to Preveza to be wintered.
And some great pictures of Zakinthos:
