Quiz: How well do you know Greece?

Post by tiger76 » Mon Mar 08, 2021 10:10 pm

Another geography quiz, but be warned it's a toughie, I cobbled 2/15 and they were guesses.

14/15 and only one (educated) guess; can I have a bonus point for knowing that the ship on the beach is at Navagio on Zakinthos? To be fair I did spend the best part of four years sailing all around it.

Hiya mate,my son and myself have actually been on that beach it's not as glamorous as its looks very pebbly beach,and old rusting ship full of offensive graffiti ...but looks good on that overhead shot they use,but if you have been there I suppose you know all that...i love Greece and it's people.

8/15....I absolutely love Greece but have little knowledge of the mainland as always head out to one island or another.

Zante is the hottest place I have ever been to and I've been to quite a few hot places including Vegas.

We had to have a shower at 6pm to get ready for the night out, a few balcony beers then another shower before we actually went out. Heat wave and unreal humidity.

A fish bowl packed with ice was needed in the first pub.
