Mpohali

Just 2 km from Zakynthos Town, at the top of the hill is Mpohali. Overlooking the port, neighbourhoods and streets below (as well as Argasi to the right) one can take in the wonderful views of the island, the sea and beyond. We visited Mpohali both in the morning and by night and even though the surroundings stay the same, the atmosphere changes a lot.

Filming in Zante

Surrounded by all sorts of visual equipment, wires, plugs, software, memory cards, tripods, lenses, laptop etc. I am absolutely shuttered. Today was our first official day of shooting. We got up relatively late 7am and got into the town just before 8am. It was not long before we realised our mistake as the sun was very quick to work its way up, above our heads, and burn the living days out of us! By 10.30 am we looked like two fried mummies roaming the peaceful streets of San Marco square.
