Pictures from Greece

Written by Anne Mallory in Jaunty Post

We sailed for a week through the Cyclades in Greece, hitting Paros, Naxos, Iraklia, Ios and Antiparos. We ferried to Mykonos afterwards and tried to go to Delos, but no ferries would make the Delos journey (*sob*) due to the high winds. Each island had its own local color, its own richness and pizzazz. Some were quiet and quaint, others rough and rowdy, but they all had the same great food and beautiful beaches. Well, ok, some beaches were definitely better than others!

No sailing pictures to show, in order to protect the innocent (aka the other 8 people who sailed), but there is one of our sailboat below, a Bavaria 44. We self-captained and crewed, so it was our very own adventure. And happily, nothing went too screwy. Our sailing days ranged from placid to Force 7 winds (9-13 foot waves), so every day was different. A highly recommended choice of travel for anyone interested in venturing out in the Greek Islands! And if sailing isn’t your thing…the ferries run nearly everywhere. :)

Wow, it’s so hard to figure out which pictures to post!! Hope you enjoy these!
