As human beings on this planet we are so caught up in our familiar daily routines and what is that one thing that we day dream about? What is it that we crave and work so hard towards? We do it for those limited number of days that we are entitled to be free - holiday. Whether you long to lounge around a pool with a cocktail in hand, snorkel in deep blue caves, or explore the unknown there is no need to contemplate where to go. The answer is the Greek Islands. All of the islands are quite unique in their own way. However common aspects are sunkissed beaches, rich history, captivating adventure, scrumptious cuisine, and lively nightlife. They truly are the gems of the Mediterrean Sea. Zakynthos is a particular island that will capture a piece of your soul and keep it. It definitely did for me. As I stepped off the ship and onto the sand of the world famous Navagio shipwreck, I felt this overwhelming feeling of belonging. There are many places around the world I have visited but nowhere made me feel as safe as I did when I was sitting on that beach that is tucked away in the cliffs of the island. I've never seen water so blue before, it was extremely mesmerising. I remember thinking to myself that if paradise exists, then this is it. Although I didn't stay in a 5 star property, the island had it's own luxury that no hotel could provide. You can count on making life long friends with the local people because they will treat you like family during your stay. And you can count on gaining a few pounds too! For the meat lovers, how does 3 Euros for authentic juicy gyros sound?Absolute bargain. How about mousakka? Even the best salad in the world - Greek salad. Aside from the culture, cuisine, and attractions, Zakynthos posesses it's luxurious aspect too with swim-up pool rooms, private villas, and secluded boutique hotels. Zakynthos will truly inspire and take your breath away with it's beauty and all that it has to offer. As a former travel agent, I will let you in on a secret. My rule when it comes to travelling is not visit the same place twice. Always choose to discover somewhere new. I broke this rule of mine for Zakynthos, because I left a part of me there when I left. So the next time you're searching for deals online for that one week off that your boss agreed to, search for Zakynthos. You just might find your second home.
