Patra is the largest city in the Peloponnese and the third largest in Greece. The city and harbor are noisy and grubby hut lively. The wine from the region is excellent including the ubiquitous "demesrica" - a visit to the Achaia-Klauss wine factory is well worth while. Historically the city has always been important as a commercial centre and the western gateway to Greece.
Zakinthos is the southernmost of the Heptanesoi. Like a bowl holding something precious, the mountains of Zakinthos enclose the fertile central plain. The Venetians called Zakinthos "the flower of the Levant." Until its total destruction in the 1953 earthquake the towns consisted largely of Venetian buildings. In the rebuilding of the island, a Venetian aura has been retained -spacious boulevards, arcaded shops and imposing public buildings. A museum houses some of the relics particularly some fine icons. The island offers some spectacular scenery. All the other places that you will visit are as beautifull as there above mentioned ones.
