  1. This really is a bit of paradise on earth. I can really imagine myself out on that beautiful deck of an evening, with plenty of romance in the air. What a gorgeous resort, no wonder it won that fabulous award.

  2. I’ve seen so many pictures of Smugglers Cove and finally I know which Greek island it is located. Seems so ideal to get a massage overlooking and breathing in the scent of the Ionian Sea. Are there any water activities that Porto Zante offers? Any local produce I can enjoy?
    Hope you are enjoying your travels, Paul!

  3. One of the most beautiful Islands in Greece. Although all Greek islands have a specific beauty this particular island combines everything a visitor might look for his holiday. Sea, clear water, sky, mountain, traditional places, monasteries, night life and so on. They say that if you live for some time there you will never leave. Its a place that makes you fall in love with.
