Sailing in Greece
mwand, 14:22h
Hi friends,
I'm back again! As some of you know, I did a one-week
sailing trip in Greece in early November.
By now, I've been back for two weeks, and I'm just ready
sorting through my pictures! So here are a few for you:
On the first day, we started from Athens and sailed to the island of Poros, which is just a small channel away
from the mainland - it's not a real outlying place, but beautiful nonetheless!
The next day was a day of beautiful sunshine, and we did our crossing towards the Cyclades. During the long trip, we took our time to relax in the way of the sea - here
you see two of us taking a bath in the sea, being pulled by the boat. It's amazing how fast 6 km/h really is!
Alternatively, we'd just lie down on the deck and enjoy the sunshine.
This is Max, our Skipper.
In the evenings, we cooked in our kitchen, talked to each other or played games. It was a funny crew, and we enjoyed the time together.
The most beautiful days were those when we anchored in a secluded bay instead of a harbor. During the day, we'd row to the shore,
cook our food there (I'll try to get a photo) and hike the coastline.
We found some ramshackle cabins and ruins of stone-built houses telling us of former
settlements, or rather, single people living on the coast. Maybe they were fishermen, or
sheepherders - the area wouldn't provide a living for actual farmers.
Apart from some fishermen, though, we rarely met a living soul in these areas.
