Hello everyone! I just visited Cinque Terre on July 29th. It was very difficult to find a parking space (I don't know if it's because it's the weekend). I suggest it's more convenient to take a train from La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. Trains from La Spezia to Levanto run every half an hour and stop at all five villages. We drove to Riomaggiore first and bought tickets there for 16 euros per person, which allowed unlimited rides all day, including buses and restroom fees. Among the five villages, Manarola has the best scenery. It is said that the night view is also special, but we didn't plan our time well and left Cinque Terre before it got dark. We arrived around 10 am and left around 8 pm, spending about ten hours. We visited all five villages, and the scenery was quite similar. Monterosso, the northernmost village, is mainly a beach resort. Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore are similar, while Corniglia, after getting off the train, requires a bus ride to reach the top of the town. After 8 pm, the train back to La Spezia runs every hour. I hope my experience can be helpful to friends who are planning to visit Cinque Terre. ?

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ?

United States Q&A
The road conditions on Zakynthos are still good, but there are many winding roads. I rented a Peugeot 208, and sometimes it's quite difficult to climb steep slopes. There are many one-way streets in the town. Now, the price for Shipwreck Bay and Blue Caves is 20 euros per person. I first went to the Potamitis place to take a boat. There were hardly any people on Sunday. After waiting for a while, a lady asked us if we were going. I asked about the price, and she said it would be 80 euros for two people because it would be a private charter. If we went with others, it would be 20 euros per person. I thought it was too expensive and there were no other people around, so I went to Agios Nikolaos. There weren't many people there on Sunday either. I asked and was told that if we didn't wait and left immediately, it would be 100 euros for two people. If we waited for others, it would be 20 euros. Luckily, after waiting for about fifteen minutes, a couple arrived, and we went together. It took about an hour and a half. It's best to arrive at the Blue Caves between 12-2 pm. I arrived there at nearly 5 pm, and the sun was shining from behind, so it wasn't very visible. I hope this helps you. ?
