Zakynthos Page 5

Hints from Harry

Zakynthos is good island to explore on a scooter, although the bus service is adequate. Some complain about post earthquake architecture but should remember Greece is a poor country with few trees. The low and squat buildings are designed to be proof against future quakes. Also remember that Greeks were building beautiful structures and making beautiful art works while many were living in less fortunate circumstances.
