Chapter 373 Zha Island!

Today's theme is play, play in detail, the first stop is the lighthouse.

"Faros Lighthouse is at the southwestern tip of Santorini Island. The sea is open, without any shelter, and there are no noisy crowds and the trouble of competing for seats. It’s not a task on the list, so students who want to watch the sunset please come to the lighthouse! The biggest reason for renting a car is to come to the lighthouse. I read a few travel notes of Fengfeng before, and some friends came here. When it comes to “no man’s land” "It is very attractive to me. I like to go to this kind of place where there are no people, and take pictures without being disturbed by various poses." These are some excerpts written by Zhang Hao in his article.

"The lighthouse at the southernmost end is a scenic spot that few people go to. You have to drive to get there. The scenery is superb. It should be noted that this is not a big scenic spot, so there is no special parking lot, and the cars are parked on the side of the road. It's a bit steep, those who use hand wave should pay attention!"

The girls in the same team murmured, "It's too much!" But that's it, but Zhang Hao found that she also pressed the shutter dozens of times.

On the way, I met an uncle who was very talkative. Zhang Feng and the uncle chatted a lot. The reason for talking about Greece was that the uncle said happily: "I just finished reading the novel "The Island" not long ago, which is written by the British writer Victoria Hislop ( Victoria Hislop)'s first novel, published in 2005. "Island" tells the story of a family fighting against leprosy on the island of Crete in Greece. The novel is represented by the Petrakis family, who turned from despair to hope , from pain to light, step by step, search, until regaining new life. I wrote a life and death elegy that made people cry, which made people unable to calm down for a long time. That day, I accidentally discovered a tourist route that was going to Crete, Greece Island, my heart was immediately excited, and I realized this instant trip. I departed from Shanghai and flew through Istanbul for nearly [-] hours to Athens, the capital of Greece, and started the trip to Greece.”

"Greece is an ancient civilization and the cradle of Western civilization. Greece is the birthplace of Western philosophy, Western literature, the Olympic Games, and the democratic system. It is the center of natural science and social science in ancient times. Greece has countless myths and legends. In our country It was implanted in my heart when I was a child. Human spiritual teachers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were familiar with me when I was a middle school student. Greece was far away from my life when it was on the earth. It came into people's sight again, it was the Athens Olympic Games in August 2004.

Greece is a mysterious place, and it is a fascinating place. This time I finally have the opportunity to see her beauty. "Uncle said so.

The uncle was very excited and excited. He pulled Zhang Feng and told Zhang Feng a lot of things, which gave Zhang Feng a deeper understanding of Greece.

According to legend, in ancient Greece, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, were in a deadlock for the status of the patron saint of Athens.Later, Zeus, the king of gods, ruled that whoever can give mankind the most useful thing, the city will belong to him.Poseidon tapped the rock with his trident, and out of it came a steed, a symbol of war.And Athena hit the rock with a spear, and immediately and quickly grew an olive tree with lush branches and leaves and many fruits.The olive tree symbolized peace and a good harvest, and people cheered.Thus, Athena became the patron saint of the new city.People named the city Athens after her.So this is the ancient city of God, and it is also a modern city.

The Acropolis of Athens is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, also known as Acropolis of Athens, originally meaning "city on high" or "city-state on a high hill", with a history of 3000 years ago.The site of the Acropolis is located in the southwest of today's Athens city. It is the most famous ancient building complex in Greece and the center of religion and politics.The main existing relics are Dionysus Theater, Acropolis Gate, Parthenon Temple, Eriktion Temple, Athena Victory Temple and so on.

……

However, Zhang Hao from the Acropolis of Athens had not had time to go shopping, so he came to the Holy Island. After saying goodbye to his uncle, Zhang Feng’s trip to the Holy Island also came to an end. After saying goodbye to the tour guide and friends, Zhang Hao Went to a place before Athens.

Zhang Feng doesn't like fancy travel, but prefers to wander around leisurely and leisurely, so he didn't bother to make an itinerary before going. He just booked the air ticket and hotel. At that time, he thought that even if there were not many attractions or activities, he would sleep in every day Swimming is also good, so Zhang Feng stayed on a small island with an imperfect tourism industry for several days.

But in the end, Zhang Feng didn't regret this decision at all, because of the beautiful scenery, because of the quiet sea of ​​love, because of the friendly residents on the island, and because of all kinds of delicious grilled fish.

The name of the place is Zha Island. There is only one airport on Zha Island. The departure and arrival are all in one hall. The size can be imagined. You don’t need to go to the airport long in advance, one hour in advance is enough.There is an airport bus to the city center. Zhang Feng just buys a ticket inside the airport and then goes outside to take the bus.

Buses, except for the shorter business hours on Sundays, the buses on Zha Island usually run from 1:2 am to [-]:[-] pm.Although there are many stops, it feels that the arrival time is not on time.You can ask the hotel to get a bus timetable, be sure to check if it is the latest version, they are often lazy and do not change it.The one-way fare is about [-] to [-] Euros, and there are buses to and from Athens, the capital of Greece, at the main station in the small town of Zakynthos.

As for regular appearances, Zhang Feng found that many foreigners choose to rent bicycles, scooters, or four-wheeled mountain bikes on Zha Island. They need to provide a motorcycle driving license, and the price is moderate (about 25 Euros a day). The road is relatively narrow, and such tools are highly recommended if you are only traveling in a few adjacent towns.If you want to travel around the island like Zhang Feng, you still don’t recommend motorcycles. There are too many mountain roads in Zha Island, and it’s too strenuous to ride on a motorcycle with a small horsepower.

The most convenient tool on Youzha Island is self-driving. Most of the local cars are converted into diesel cars for the convenience of mountain roads, which have high horsepower and fuel economy.Car rental companies can be seen everywhere, and you can also book online in advance.You only need to show your driver's license in English. In addition, there is basically no parking fee on the whole island. In the words of the locals: "When you see the big lawn in front of the door, you can just park."

However, it is quite troublesome to communicate with a car rental company that does not speak English or is lazy.In the beginning, Zhang Feng booked a company's car. When he was in Shengdao, Zhang Feng pre-rented the car in advance. He had verbally agreed to Zhang Feng's change on the phone and asked Zhang Feng to send an email to confirm. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Feng reconfirmed the day before , but was told that there was no car, because the employee who answered the phone last time forgot.Fortunately, in the last emergency, the homestay owner Loukas and his wife helped Zhang Feng book a car from another company (50 Euros a day, automatic transmission).
