A Blustery Hike To The Ruins Of St Andreas Monastery Ruins, Zakynthos
Through My Lens
Last Sundays hike was a very blustery one to find the ruins of the St Andreas monastery on Zakynthos. It is a hike we’ve done before, but we wanted to approach it from a different angle just to make it different…
And a little more challenging.

This was our fifth walk as the new Carry On Walking group and everyone seems to be loving the new sense of adventure that comes from combining walks with blindly exploring new trails.
My husband has a sharp sense of direction and really loves getting stuck into an online map searching for new trails to explore. We had thought that not always having the time to get out and test the routes first may prove to be a problem. But we were wrong. Everyone seems to love the sense of adventure that brings.
So join me on our hike to…
The St Andreas Monastery Ruins On Zakynthos – Through My Lens.
