When the bad Traveler was just a young boy, he heard from a magazine show on TV of a kid being attacked as well as then devoured by a significant crocodile in the province. because then, I had feared crocodiles. I didn’t like seeing them even on TV. Whenever national geographic channel would function them, I’d switch channels. They had been providing me the creeps up until our Puerto Princesa City Tour.

After our moment with the caterpillars as well as former caterpillars at the Palawan Butterfly Garden, our chauffeur revealed that we would be heading to Palawan wildlife Rescue as well as Conservation center to satisfy some crocodiles. envision exactly how I felt when I discovered about our next stop. “It’s the end of my life as I understand it! I’m gonna dieeee!!!” however of course, I didn’t state it out loud; my good friends would have killed me best then for my kaartehan. So I flashed a wide, fake smile as well as held it for the next 20 minutes or so. We shown up at around 8:30 am. Although we were able to go into the place, we still had to wait on the ticket counter to open at 9am so we killed a long time by taking pictures around.

By the way, right here are the going to hours: Mondays to Fridays, 1:30pm to 5pm; Saturdays 9am to 5pm (lunch break from 12nn-1pm).

Formerly understood as Crocodile Farming Institute, this Puerto Princesa destination is not just a prominent traveler attraction however likewise a research study center for conservation as well as further studies of Palawan’s endangered types including crocodiles. That said, crocodiles ain’t the only animals here. There is a mini-zoo right here which homes a number of types of mammals, reptiles as well as birds.

When the ticket booth opened, we paid for entrance charges (P40) as well as the trip started.

After seeing the skeletons, the trip guide led us to the Hatchling home where infant crocs are being kept.The Hatchling home is full of white tubs where bit crocs are fed. As you walk farther, the bigger crocs are.

There are two kinds of crocodiles: the Saltwater Crocodile or Indo-Pacific Crocodile (Crocodylus Porosus) as well as the Philippine Freshwater Crocodile or Mindoro Crocodile (Crocodylus Mindorensis). Naks, may scientific names pa. Hihi.

More infant crocs!
Baby crocs. little however still scary.
When we reached the exit, we were led to a swamp like area where adult crocs were. There is an elevated ledge over the area where tourists might walk on as well as get a much better view of these reptiles.

My good friend Astrid, croc-happy!
A caretaker at the center cleaning the area where huge crocs were. We asked him, “Kuya, hindi ka ba kakagatin nyan?” The caretaker answered, “Hindi, busog na ang mga yan.”
We then proceeded to a station where tourists can take pictures with a infant croc. The charge for a photo-op with a infant crocodile is P30-P35.

We then walked to the mini-zoo where non-croc animals where caged.

This wild boar promptly walked towards our direction when it saw us. It might be asking for food.
There are likewise a number of types of birds as well as snakes at the mini-zoo. The cutest are the porcupines as well as the squirrels.

It was an enlightening tour, albeit frightening at first. I went in as a frightened traveler as well as came out as a crocodile lover! Kudos to the people operating this place.

EL NIDO trip A vs trip C: What to Expect, Which is Better?

How to get from PUERTO PRINCESA TO EL NIDO: By Bus as well as Van

I’m composing this publish in between piles of clothes. I’m still in the middle of packing my stuff for my very first trip to Athens, which is just a few hours from now. as well as I can’t tell you exactly how excited I am. It’s all I’ve been believing about for the past few weeks.

When my buddies discovered I’m flying to Greece, they expressed their concern about the timing. As a Mediterranean country, Greece is understood as a summertime destination. A simple mention of Greece conjures pictures of stunning beaches cradled between golden cliffs, boats leaving slipstreams across cerulean waters, as well as ruins under the intense warm of the sun.

But if you’ve been complying with our blog long enough, you understand that we like traveling in winter. In fact, our travel season — the period when we go on consecutive trips — always begins in December. It’s not by chance. There are reasons why we prefer to roam in the chillier months:

Off-peak season. more frequently than not, costs of flights, hotels, as well as tours significantly go down in winter. It’s a fantastic time to check out for budget plan travelers like us! In fact, Scoot currently has a fantastic promo. They phone call it: Take-off Tuesday. starting December 5, you can grab fares for Athens for only P9,999! Seats are restricted so make sure your quick fingers are prepared on December 5.

Smaller crowds. Understandably as well as expectedly, Athens is one prominent destination so huge crowds during peak seasons are not surprising at all. however during winter, things are not as hectic.

Friendlier temperatures. As a guy who spent most of my life in the tropics, I state I’ve had more than my share of the heat. chilly weather condition fascinates me, as well as I discover it more comfortable for sightseeing as well as just walking around.

Although Athens is our entry point, it is really the last stop in our itinerary. We’ll be checking out other regions of Greece as well as other countries in Europe very first before ending the trip in Athens, so we still have lots of time to add or modification our plans. however right here are a few of the things we are looking ahead to!

Τι καλύπτεται σε αυτόν τον οδηγό;

1. Skydiving in Athens
2. The Acropolis minus huge Crowds

1. Skydiving in Athens

Skydiving in Athens is open year-round, so this may be a fantastic option for winter.

Last year, we were supposed to make our skydiving debut in Prague. It took us a few days to make a decision, as well as when we lastly did, it rained, prompting the company to cancel our flight. We ended up leaving Prague still skydiving virgins.

But we’re hoping to modification that in Athens. “Hoping” since we’re still not sure about it, to be honest. budget plan is an issue. Skydiving in Athens is fairly cheap. The key words there is relatively. At EUR160-210 per person, it is definitely one of the cheapest skydiving choices we discovered online, however it is still a hefty sum for a 3-hour activity. So we’ll see if we have sufficient money towards the end of the trip.

Do you believe we should lastly try skydiving?

2. The Acropolis minus huge Crowds

Not just Acropolis however likewise the other ruins as well as historic sites scattered around the city. I’m expecting a more relaxed, more comfortable touring experience, without having to wait in long queues as well as battle other tourists for a picture spot. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ.

The Acropolis is likewise understood for not having much shade within its vicinity, so the cooler environment will most likely assist make our time more enjoyable.

3. chill Hilltop Views

You what else we plan to do other than visiting the Acropolis? Taking nice panoramic pictures of it from afar. Fortunately, my on the internet research study informed me that Athens has lots of areas just for that, as well as many of them are perched on hilltops: Filopappou Hill, Lycabettus Hill, Aeropagus Hill, as well as Strefi Hill. as well as we like hiking when it’s cooler, so this should be fun.

4. getting lost in Plaka

Standing in the shadow of the Acropolis is the maze-like community of Plaka, the oldest district of Athens. since of its proximity to the Acropolis, it is dubbed the village of the Gods. My curiosity is definitely piqued!

Online accounts motivate keeping an eye on the colors as well as design of the homes here, in addition to dining at a cafe.

5. Greek Food Trip

Ah, I keep in mind a half-Greek buddy who got somewhat upset with me years back when I stated I wasn’t a fan of Greek food. “Don’t judge an entire cuisine if you haven’t visited the country yet,” he quipped.

Again, that was years ago. At the time, I wasn’t truly into Japanese food either, however when I lastly set foot in Japan as well as got a taste of their food in all its authentic glory, I was sold. exact same with Korean food. So I’m excited to join Greek food tours for a much better as well as more informed appreciation of it!

Because the Yuletide season is here, I should most likely expect bakeries to be full of rows as well as rows of melomakarona, little egg-shaped cakes made of olive oil, honey, as well as flour.

6. The altering of the Guards at Syntagma Square

I have witnessed a number of altering of the guards ceremonies around the world, as well as I have to state that this is one that I truly am looking ahead to. I’ve been mesmerized by videos of the slow, calculated, as well as synchronized routine that the Greek guards (called Evzones) perform. as well as yes, since it’s off-peak season, they state that the tourist crowd won’t be as huge right here either.

7. Skiing!

This one is not truly within Athens, however the closest ski resort, Mt. Parnassos, is just a few hours away. The last time I was able to ski was four years back near Mt. Fuji in Japan, as well as it would be wonderful to get to do it once again in Greece. Vins has not tried it ever, as well as I understand he’d enjoy it. Unfortunately, we may be as well early for skiing since the resort opens December 15-ish (ugh!), however I’m including it right here just in situation you’re going to Athens as well later this season.

So there. hope whatever goes as organized — particularly the skydiving bit. however we’ll be updating this publish after the trip to add more tips based on first-hand experience so don’t fail to remember to inspect back soon!

Either the wind desired me naked or it just hated that shade of pink on me. The latter, if the wind were buddies with the band of alpha male tourists that stood just a couple of lawns from me. My pink polo stood out in a sea of greens, prompting them to quip “confirmed” when they believed I might not hear them. It must have been their very first time to see one more guy in pink. bad souls.

Αλλά τέλος πάντων. In a location as gorgeous as this, nothing as well as nobody might ruin my mood. From afar, a pink dot — me, the pink dot — dashed across the grass-covered waves that peaked as well as sank softly across the tough seaside landscape. Locals phone call this Racuh a Payaman. Tourists have one more name for it: Marlboro Country.

The view right here was nothing short of spectacular. I might clearly see Tayid Lighthouse, crested on an opposite hill, contending for attention. however even a lighthouse as bright as Tayid pales in comparison to the grand as well as gracious way the virid cliffs plummet to Diura Beach, where they satisfy the overzealous waves in a splashy embrace. In the middle of all the action is a rocky pinnacle, a directed islet, that breaks the waves in half.

That pink blob right there is me. Teehee.

Narrow foot tracks snake around the crumpled land, ushering visitors to other corners as well as viewpoints. The angle modifications however none of them any type of less outstanding than the previous. as well as what is Marlboro country without horses cows? If they’re not grazing, they are resting comfortably in one of the shallow holes on one of the slopes.

Of all the stops on the Batan Island South Tour, this is most likely where I stayed the longest. getting from the jump off point to the prominent viewing area alone demanded a great deal of time (and energy). professional photographers perched on a hill with their tripods waited for their money shots unfold, while others held their jaws in place, lest they autumn as well as roll down to a little pocket of sand below.

How to get to Marlboro Country: From the Basco flight terminal or Basco town Proper, you may reach Honesty Coffee shop by tricycle (P200-P220, 30-40 minutes). You may likewise lease a tricycle for a SOUTH BATAN TOUR, which makes a stop at Marlboro country (P1500, great for 2 pax).

in some cases you get to a restaurant and quickly you can tell you’re going to love it. Lofos restaurant in Zakynthos Greece was just that kind of place for us. A warm welcome as we walked in the front patio area and of course, those spectacular views over the rugged interior and rolling hills of Zakynthos.

Where is Lofos Restaurant?

?Unnamed Rd,, Meso Gerakari 291 00, Greece

Lofos restaurant is located atop one of the highest hills in Meso Gerakari in the center of Zakynthos. To get here you’ll pass through some very narrow roads and meander your way to the top of the hill where you have the wonderful panorama of nearly all of Zante Island.

The restaurant is about a 19-minute drive from Zante Town, 24 minutes from Laganas and about 20 minutes from Tsilivi, which, if you’re trying to figure out where to stay in Zakynthos, are 3 of the main areas.

Basically you’ll need a automobile to get to the restaurant, but having a automobile in Zakynthos (around €16 / day) is certainly worth it anyways.

Must-Try meals at Lofos Restaurant

We returned to Lofos Restaurant, Zakynthos quite a few times and we had a few different meals on the menu. The roast lamb and the beef stew were both extremely tasty and they also serve pizza, salads, steak and numerous other dishes. 

Every time we went there we were too full for dessert, but that didn’t stop the waiter from coming out and giving us one for totally free anyways. Basically, everything on the menu is great, but even if you just come for a couple of drinks while the sun sets, this is a wonderful restaurant and it certainly is one of the best restaurants in Zakynthos.

Η υπηρεσία

Every time we went to Lofos restaurant Zakynthos we had outstanding service. The place feels like a common small, family-run restaurant and when you’re there, you feel a bit like family too. especially when you return a couple of times and they get to know you!

It’s a small restaurant with only about a dozen tables, so the service is intimate and efficient. The staff is attentive and friendly and we had good service each time we came here.

The Ambiance

The ambiance at this place, particularly at sunset is fantastic. There’s in some cases some Greek music playing, the sun is setting over the hills, the church is glowing on the hill behind you and the restaurant is buzzing with people having wonderful food, drinks and of course, taking photos of the view.

Η θέα

Τι μπορώ να πω? The view from Lofos restaurant is spectacular. You can see the farmland below as well as some dramatic cliffs. The deck faces the west so in the late afternoon the warm Mediterranean sun pours onto the patio.

In the summer it can be a bit hot just before the sun goes down, so it’s best to come in the final hour or so before sunset if you don’t want to be roasting while you’re enjoying your drink.

To the best of the vehicle parking lot for Lofos restaurant is the stunning Agios Nikolaos Greek Orthodox Church which sits atop a slightly taller hill. At sunset, the church is the only thing in the area that’s lit up as the shadows creep over the restaurant and the valleys below.

Το κόστος

The price is actually very good at Lofos restaurant in Zakynthos Greece especially considering the location. Usually, a place with a wonderful view like this would charge up to twice the price of a regular restaurant, but Lofos is around the same price as an average restaurant in Zakynthos.

The roast lamb that I purchased was €9 and came with veggies and potatoes, while the beef stew was €8 and very filling. Both are delicious. Beers are around €2.5 and appetizers are just €4 each.

If you come here as a couple and have a half litre of wine, an appetizer, a couple of mains and a dessert you won’t likely pay much more than €30, which is terrific for Zante Island.

How To Reserve

Call +30 2695 062643

m.me/111215223550062

When we were last in Zakynthos it was March, in the shoulder-season (the best time to check out Greece) so there weren’t too numerous tourists here and we didn’t have to reserve in advance, but if you’re here in the high season you may want to give them a call to see if there will be tables available. 

Every table on the deck has a terrific view so you don’t have to worry about not getting a good seat as long as you’re outside. They also have a Facebook page that you can contact them on.

Our Opinion

At the end of our stay in Zakynthos this was certainly one of our preferred restaurants and in fact, heading to this place at sunset was one of the best things to do in Zakynthos. 

We found the staff to be kind and courteous and made us feel like family (even thΕξάλλου, μας έτρωγαν πάρα πολύ). Το φαγητό βγήκε πάντα γρήγορα, η ατμόσφαιρα ήταν ωραία, τα μερίδια ήταν γενναιόδωρα και το φαγητό ήταν νόστιμο.

Αν ψάχνετε για ένα εστιατόριο στο Ζακύθο όπου μπορείτε να απολαύσετε μια θεαματική θέα του νησιού και της Θάλασσας του Ιονίου, ενώ έχετε καταπληκτικό φαγητό σε οικονομική τιμή, τότε ο Lofos είναι μια καταπληκτική επιλογή.

Υποθέτω ότι το μόνο μειονέκτημα θα ήταν η τοποθεσία. Είναι λίγο μακριά από τα πάντα, αλλά σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις πρέπει να οδηγήσετε λίγο για να φτάσετε σε ένα εκπληκτικό σημείο όπως αυτό.

Συνιστούμε ιδιαίτερα να έχετε ένα ενοικιαζόμενο αυτοκίνητο, τουλάχιστον για μέρος του χρόνου στον Ζακύθο, ώστε να μπορείτε να εξερευνήσετε το νησί, και αυτό είναι ένα ιδανικό μεσημεριανό ή δείπνο σε οποιοδήποτε πρόγραμμα οδικών ταξιδιών γύρω από το νησί. Εάν μένετε προς τα νότια, μπορείτε να σταματήσετε στο Lofos στο δρόμο σας προς την παραλία Navagio, ή στο δρόμο σας πίσω αφού δείτε την παραλία από την πλατφόρμα που βλέπετε.

Συνολικά, διαπιστώσαμε ότι ο Ζακύνος ήταν ένα από τα καλύτερα μέρη για να ελέγξετε την Ελλάδα και το εστιατόριο Lofos ήταν ένα από τα καλύτερα εστιατόρια (σίγουρα με την καλύτερη θέα) που πήγαμε στο νησί.

Όπως αυτό το άρθρο; Κάντε το!

The question always pops up. I had been to Sagada three times. Each time, I visited the Echo Valley. Each time someone always asked the guide this question: Why do locals hang coffins on the side of the cliff? Although the answers vary in small details, they are basically similar — the locals believe that the higher the coffins are, the closer they are to heaven.

Only a short walk away from the town’s main road, the Echo Valley is probably the most accessible of all the tourist spots in Sagada. We started our walk at the St. Mary Church through the Calvary hill (Mission Compound) Cemetery to get there. What welcomed us was a vista of sharp cliffs with hanging coffins affixed to one of its edge.

A small sign nailed to a pine tree caught our attention on our way to the valley. “This area is restricted for graves,” said the sign. Behind it is a gorgeous landscape: a small hill covered with grass and pine trees, and dotted with white graves of different sizes. The group agreed to take a minute to explore the graveyard. The chilly atmosphere was made eerie by the gravestones that surrounded us. Still, we hopped from one spot to another, looking for something that would spark interest. Our short stop became a long moment of reflection for us as the graves served as mirrors of how we lived our lives. It wasn’t long until our guide called us and asked us to follow him to the valley before the dark starts blanketing the site.

The mission Compound Graveyard in Sagada
On one end of the cemetery was a well-worn trail, a testament to how popular this site is to tourists. The reddish walking trail stood out in a sea of greenery. The ground was rather soft, veiled with dry pine tree leaves. The sight was a wonder in itself — pine trees standing like sentinels of the dead, the deep valley that seemed to invite us to walk down, and the limestone cliffs that rise gloriously from the ground. We could not help but snap away, trying to capture everything we laid eyes on. It was an easy walk; so easy that we actually forgot that we were traversing the side of a cliff and that one wrong step could cost us our lives. Needless to say, any tourist who will visit this place has  to watch his or her step and be careful.

Echo Valley and the Hanging Coffins
When we finally reached the viewpoint, we stood there and just looked at the hanging coffins from afar. Our guide encouraged us to shout for it would echo. This is Echo Valley after all. We started throwing one shout after another to the other hill and heard them bounce back to us, to our delight and amusement. It was quite ironic in a way. I remember one foreign travel blogger who shared his view about shouting at the Echo Valley. He said that he found it rude to shout at the site, knowing that there were hanging coffins ahead of us and a relatively modern cemetery behind. His view was that we should keep the place quiet and peaceful as a sign of respect to the dead. I agree with him now.

Although I had been to Sagada a few times before, I have never tried going down the valley and see the hanging coffins up close. It’s not because I was scared but more like exhausted. In all three occasions, I had visited this site in late afternoon, after a trek to Bomod-ok Falls or a spelunking tour through Sumaguing Cave or Cave Connection. I just couldn’t exhaust more energy going down to the valley after a tiring day. but that gives me a reason to go back to Sagada soon.
