Zakynthos [Zante] Island
This wonderful Greek island we learned Christina accidentally. Most firms advertise Rhodes, Crete, Kos, Chalkidiki Peninsula, providing a lot of information about them, can not be said about Zakynthos. Direct charter flights with Russian tourists fly only 3 years old from St. Petersburg and Moscow in the first year, so our tourists on the island almost meet. It makes us very pleased. To the Russian locals are very good, as to know where to fly in, so just "Oh! Ruussiyaya!" and a different approach. But, perhaps, with the number of Russo-tourist attitude of local change slightly.
Trivia:
Zakynthos Island is located on the west coast of Greece, in the Ionian Sea. The island is 402 square kilometers and with a strong desire on the car or on a bike, you can drive around for a day.
less compelling is the last refuge of sea turtle Caretta-Caretta and the Mediterranean seal monakus-monakus. For their protection on the island was established the National Marine Park. To calm turtles lay eggs at night and close the airport and most of the southern beaches.
Zakynthos is the greenest of the Greek islands. In the south and south-east generally wide sandy beaches, the entire west in rocky cliffs, and the north, which we most love, more mountainous and wild, with many beautiful bays. The highest mountain on the island - Vrahionas (756 m).
Flight from St. Petersburg takes 4 hours 20 minutes. Flew to the Airbus A320.
