After a few years of waiting, because of Aunt Corona, it was finally going to happen. On Sunday, September 18th, my hubby and I left for Zakynthos. We had booked via Sunweb and flew to this beautiful island via Eindhoven Airport. Through our travel company, we had also done Quick parking in Best. Once there, we parked the car and switched to a small van with a few more people. The trip to the plane did not take long. Within about 10 minutes, we were in the parking garage for Kiss & Ride. Out your bags and off to the Drop off. Fortunately, we had already checked in at home.

There was already a queue at the entrance to the building and after the Drop off we were allowed to join there. Airport employees assured us that waiting for security took about 1 to 15 hours. Still, we were pulled out of line halfway, along with other people who also flew to Zakynthos, and we were able to catch up quite a bit. Well in time, we arrived at the gate where we could board the plane.

After a prosperous flight, we arrived at the Porto Koukla Beach hotel in Lithakia around 20:30 in the evening where, after putting the bags in the hotel room, we were able to have a nice bite to eat with a beautiful view of the bay.

And then you wake up the next morning with a lovely sun and then a nice breakfast buffet with a view.

With a full stomach we went for a walk towards Agios Sostis, a village half an hour's walk from our hotel by road and inside (which we did later in the week) only 10 minutes to fifteen minutes. This depends on whether you walk back in the light or in the dark. Plus inside is a bit via agriculture and ditch. That's also why the time difference in the dark. So watch where you walk.
