No Stress trip to the Blue Caves

The coastline of Zakynthos practically glows in all hues of blue. The ocean appears rich, dazzling, saphire-esque (is that a word?) It's almost futile to try to describe the way it sparkles in the sunlight or dances with ripples of turquoise or teal. We take a few boats out from Alykes Beach (thanks George & Pamcakes for helping us wait out our one and only storm--downpour--for a few days until you knew it would be the perfect day!)

Lefty "No stress" captained one boat and the fearless Dan the Man at the helm of the other.  The perfect day bestowed upon us a glossy sea and come incredible coastline patterned with caves, deep and rich and layered with multi-colored corals of green, blue, orange and purple (as it reacts tot he sulfur in the water.) Don't touch the caves...will cut you like a knife!

We stop several times and float above the azure deepness, such a sense of peace surrounding us. Hop into snorkel and soft light filters 30 feet below igniting an underwater paradise. Play chase sardines. Hide and seek with yellow sponges. The crackling of underwater life enchants me. Don't want to leave. Back onto the boat. Bright sun warms me, sends me to sleep.

Back to Alykes beach where we meet George and Pamcakes. Exhausted and happy-- lunch at the Asteria. How could life get much better?
