Friday 22 April Rest day at Zakinthos and explore fortress behind town

Sunny

Friday 22 Glorious day. Make our way up to ancient Venetian fortress in hot sun. Mini pine forest inside. First build was completely destroyed by Turks in 1479. Surviving walls built 1646/47 Seems last occupants were Brits, (1812 to 1864) who left when we handed the Ionian Islands to “Greece”. First ice cream of 2016, descent to L`ula, read book in sun.
