Today's theme is to play, to play finely, and the first stop is the lighthouse.

"Faros Lighthouse is at the southwest end of Santorini Island, the sea is open, there is no shelter, there is no noisy crowd and the trouble of competing for a seat, this is a quiet atmosphere, watching the sunset is a mood, not a task on the list, so the students who watch the sunset please come to the lighthouse! The biggest reason why renting a car is to come to the lighthouse, I have read a few bee bees' travelogues before, and there are friends who come here, when it comes to "no man's land" It's particularly attractive to me, I like to go to this kind of place where there are no people, and take pictures of various poses without being disturbed. Here are some excerpts from Zhang Hao's essay.

"The southernmost lighthouse, a rarely visited attraction that you have to drive to get to, and the view is superb. It should be noted that this is not a big attraction, so there is no special parking lot, the car is parked on the side of the road, a little steep, the little friend who drives the hand wave should pay attention!"

The girls on the same team were patting and muttering "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, very talkative, Zhang Feng and the uncle talked a lot, the reason for talking about Greece was that the uncle said happily: "I just finished reading "The Island" not long ago, which is the first novel by the British writer Victoria Hislop, published in 2005. "The Island" tells the story of a family on the Greek island of Crete who fights leprosy. Represented by the Petkiss family, they went from despair to hope, from pain to light, step by step, searching, until they were reborn. composed a tragic song of life and death that made people cry, which made people unable to calm down for a long time. On that day, I accidentally found out that a tourist route was going to the Greek island of Crete, and my heart immediately became excited, and I made this trip a walk. Departing from Shanghai, we flew nearly 13 hours to Athens, the capital of Greece, via Istanbul, and began my 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, democracy, and the center of ancient natural and social sciences of mankind. Aristotle and other human spiritual teachers, who I was familiar with when I was a secondary school student, Greece on the earth, far away from my life, came into the spotlight again in August 2004 at the Athens Olympics.

Greece is a mysterious place, a place to look forward to, and this time I finally had the chance to see her. Uncle said.

The uncle was very excited and excited, pulled Zhang Feng and told Zhang Feng a lot of things, so that Zhang Feng also had a deeper understanding of Greece.

Legend has it that in ancient Greece, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, competed for the status of the protector of Athens. Later, the god-king Zeus ruled that whoever could give mankind the most useful thing should belong to him. Poseidon knocked the rock with a trident, and out of it ran a war horse that symbolized war. Athena, on the other hand, struck the rock with her spear, and immediately and quickly grew an olive tree with lush foliage and fruit. The olive tree symbolizes peace and a good harvest, and the people cheered. Thus, Athena became the protector of the new city. The city was named Athens after her. So this is the ancient city of the gods, and it is also a modern city.

The Acropolis is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, also known as the Acropolis of Athens, which originally meant "city on a high place" or "city-state on a high hill", and has a history of 3,000 years. The ruins of the Acropolis, located southwest of present-day Athens, are the most famous ancient architectural complex in Greece and the center of religious politics. The main existing ruins are the Theater of Dionysus, the Acropolis Gate, the Parthenon, the Temple of Erictheion, the Temple of Athena's Victory, etc.

……

However, Zhang Hao of the Acropolis or something has not had time to visit, when he came to the Holy Island, after saying goodbye to the uncle, Zhang Feng's trip to the Holy Island also came to an end, and after saying goodbye to the tour guide and friends, Zhang Hao went to a place before Athens.

Zhang Feng doesn't like to go around to see fancy travel, and prefers to be slow and leisurely, free to wander around, so he didn't bother to set an itinerary before going, just set the air ticket and hotel, and thought that even if there were not many attractions or amusement projects, he would sleep lazy every day and swim, so Zhang Feng stayed on a small island with imperfect tourism development for several days.

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

The name of the place is Za Island, there is only one airport in Zha Island, and the departure and arrival are 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 is to buy a ticket in the airport and then go outside to take the bus.

Buses in Zai usually run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., except for Sundays, when the hours are shorter. Although there are many stops, I feel that the arrival time is not very punctual. You can ask the hotel for a bus timetable, be sure to check if it is the latest version, they are often lazy and do not change. A one-way ticket costs between 1 and 2 euros, and there are buses to and from the Greek capital Athens from the main station in the small town of Zakynthos.

As for the regular appearance, Zhang Feng found that many foreigners choose to rent bicycles, small motorcycles, or four-wheeled mountain motorcycles in Zha, and need to provide a motorcycle driving permit, the price is moderate (about 25 euros a day), the road in Zhahah is relatively narrow, if you are just shuttling in a few neighboring towns, this kind of tool is highly recommended. If you want to choose to travel around the island like Zhang Feng, it is still not recommended to ride a motorcycle, there are too many mountain roads on Zha Island, and it is too difficult to ride a motorcycle horsepower.

The most convenient tool for visiting the island is self-driving, and most of the local cars have been converted into diesel cars for the convenience of mountain roads, which are powerful and fuel-efficient. Car rental companies are widely available and can also be booked online in advance. All you need to do is show your driver's license in English, and there is basically no parking fee on the island, in the words of a local: "You can park on the big lawn in front of the door." ”

But when you meet a car rental company that doesn't speak English or loves to be lazy, it's still quite troublesome to communicate. At the beginning, Zhang Feng booked a company's car, when he was in the Holy Island, Zhang Feng pre-rented a car in advance, and on the phone he had verbally promised Zhang Feng to change and also instructed Zhang Feng to send an email to confirm, who knew that when Zhang Feng confirmed again the day before, he was told that there was no car, because the employee who answered the phone last time forgot. Fortunately, at the last moment, the owner of the B&B, Loukas and his wife, helped Zhang Feng book a car to another company (50 euros a day, automatic transmission).
