All the nooks and crannies of Zante

Zante is a crazy island full of arches, caves, nooks and crannies... And, in 6 days of kayak, we explored them all!
One of the things that we'll never forget are the colours: we had never seen a sea as blue as this before... and all the colours were so incredibly bright that you may think that I altered the photos!
Zante is also famous worldwide for its shipwreck beach (so famous that if you search for "shipwreck beach" in google-image you get it immediately), but that beach is so crowed of people and boats that we ran away shocked as fast as we could.
