Chapter 374 Shipwreck Bay...

The employees of this company are also very casual in handling affairs. When returning the car, Zhang Feng was asked to park directly in the parking lot of the airport, put the key in the carpet, and just leave the door unlocked, and no staff came to check or anything.

Later, Zhang Feng received a call from his boss. It seemed that he couldn't find the parking spot. The boss asked calmly: "Is the car still on the island?"

There are not too many luxurious hotels on Zha Island, most of them are small hotels with three to four stars, and some are homestays with no star rating but unique flavor.

Zhang Feng’s suggestion in his article is: It is recommended to book a hotel located in the north of Zha Island, because a tree (forgot the name) is planted in the north, which can repel mosquitoes, but this tree is not planted in the south. There are a lot of lemon???? and orange?? trees in the upper south, and the environment is not as developed as in the north. There are roads that are not repaired everywhere, and it looks like a big village.

A total of two hotels have been booked for the itinerary for a few days, both of which are booked on booking.com.

Zhang Feng also recommended one of the hotels in the article: Loukas apartment on the beach, near the small town of Tilliv, the room is clean, large and affordable (4 euros for 160 nights), built on the seaside of Ampoula-beach.The important thing is that the hotel owner Loukas and his wife should be the most enthusiastic people Zhang Feng has ever met.As long as Zhang Feng asks, they will try their best to help Zhang Feng solve it. They even helped Zhang Feng call the car rental company at ten o'clock in the evening at the critical moment when Zhang Feng's reserved car rental company failed to make an appointment.

The industrious proprietress, Christine, manages the hotel in an orderly manner, whether it is hygiene or the front desk, she has taken care of it herself.The boss, Loukas, sits on the balcony in a daze, reads a book, or chats with the guests when he is free.He does business outside all the year round, has been to many places, and shared with Zhang Feng the knowledge of many different places. After hearing this, Christine complained that he didn’t bring her with him. Zhang Feng asked the reason, and she said it was because the hotel had endless things to do. , and then looked at Loukas, who was eating watermelon, when Loukas realized the whole conversation, he smiled slyly and said, "It will be next year, it will be next year."

Seeing that their relationship is still as sweet as a couple in love, Zhang Feng feels endless envy in his heart.

There are local tourism companies in every small town on the island, and they will launch many travel packages for tourists to choose from, such as going to Shipwreck Bay, swimming around the island in a boat, taking a glass boat to see turtles, and so on.There will be small differences in prices and routes for each company, and there will not be too much difference.On the first day of arriving at Zha Island, Zhang Feng reported the itineraries of two companies in the small town of Trilivi. The first one is to take a big boat around the entire Zha Island (20 Euros per person), and the second is to tour the peninsula by small boat (35 Euros per person) ), of course both trips will go to the famous Shipwreck Bay.

Although it was not the peak season when I went there, there were no vacancies for the most popular tour groups in the last two or three days, such as the most popular boat tour, so Zhang Feng accepted the advice of the proprietress and went to pick up the tours on the first day of his arrival. The tour groups that I want to join have all signed up.

The itinerary of the big ship is from [-] am to [-] or [-] pm. Tour groups usually have buses coming to the hotel door or picking up tourists at fixed locations to board the ship at the port.In one day, you can see all the scenic spots on the island, such as the Blue Grotto, the famous Shipwreck Bay, and Turtle Island. There is also an English audio introduction on the ship, although Zhang Feng didn't listen at all and was feeling seasick.Most of the time is spent on the boat, and the time for swimming in the sea is also very short. Large boats are generally used for family outings, and there are relatively few young people. If you prefer exciting swimming projects in the sea, Zhang Feng recommends small boat trips.

Because it is not the peak season, the big boat that can accommodate about 100 people only has about 50 people that day.There are kebabs on the boat at noon, the taste is better than expected, the others are only bread and some drinks, and there are very few choices.When boarding the boat and seeing the aunt at the next table bring a bunch of fruits and food that he packed, Zhang Feng really admired the aunt's foresight.

On the boat, blowing the sea breeze, drinking juice, everything is so beautiful, but a little seasick.

Zhang Feng was lucky to see the dolphins. The people who had been quiet stood up and cheered every time the dolphins jumped.The wild dolphins are different from those domesticated in the zoo, and they seem to feel the excitement of seeing the big ship.

The crew said that the wild dolphins here would be very happy to see the big ship, and they would come out to "greeting" to the crew from time to time.

After driving for about two hours, the sea water changed from dark blue to shallower, and finally arrived at the long-dreamed shipwreck bay.

Zhang Feng felt that everything in front of him seemed unreal, and the blue sea was so incredible and transparent.

On the boat, Zhang Feng heard about the origin of Shipwreck Bay. In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagioti was discovered by the Greek Navy while transporting cigarettes from Turkey to the Italian mafia, and the crew was forced to run aground on the northwest coast of Zakynthos Island. However, after landing here, they found that they were surrounded by cliffs, and there was no way to escape. A few days later, all the crew members were arrested. After hearing the news, the residents of Zha Island and nearby drove their private boats to this shallow bay." "Treasure Hunting", not only found a large amount of smuggled cigarettes and marijuana on board, but also found this beautiful and isolated shallow bay, which has been named "Navagio" since then.

The rusty shipwrecks on the white beach add a sense of mystery to the shallow bay here. Zhang Feng suddenly remembered Hayao Miyazaki's "Porco Rosso". Zhang Feng also checked it out. Sure enough, the prototype of the secret base in the movie is Shipwreck Island in Zakynthos.

After landing at Shipwreck Bay, there was about an hour of rest, but Zhang Feng felt that it was really not enough. He took pictures and looked at the oaths written by the lovers on the stones in the shipwreck, and he was about to board the ship.Zhang Feng, who was looking forward to swimming in Shipwreck Bay, was disappointed.

After boarding the boat again, after having a satisfying barbecue and listening to the melodious and a little lazy Mediterranean music on board, everyone began to take naps on the boat, some basked in the sun on the top of the boat, and some took a nap on the bow , and some lie on chairs and take a nap with their hats covering their faces.This scene lasted all afternoon.

Zhang Feng picked up a white stone in Shipwreck Island as a souvenir. Although I haven’t watched the famous Korean drama, I still heard that if I pick up the stone here, I will come back with the person who picked up the stone with you at that time. Here, Zhang Feng thought again, should he pick up another one and give it to Xu Jie.

After playing around, Zhang Feng felt uncomfortable, so he chose a small boat, which is actually a small yacht that can seat 20 people, and the price is only a little more expensive than the big boat tour (35 euros per person, off-season).Although the scenic spots to go to are similar to those of the big ship, because there is a regulation on the shipwreck island that the landing time of the big ship and the small boat will diverge to avoid too much traffic, so the small boat will go to the shipwreck island very early, and there will be fewer people.The most important thing is that the small boat will drive into the famous blue hole. If you take a big boat, you can't get in.

This made Zhang Feng very excited and felt that it was worth it.
