Sailing Trip

What a fabulous time we had with the Santorini Sailing Club! There was only 10 passengers and 5 crew so we were really doted on. The catamaran was so comfortable with lots of lovely places to sit/lie on board. First stop was the location of an underground mineral spring- very salty and sulphuric. We were the only ones who went swimming..a Dutch guy remarked “You Aussies are always the adventurous ones!
It was really cool sailing in the caldera because it gave you the impression of being inside the volcano and you got a really different perspective of Santorini.
Next stop was a snorkelling stop at Red Beach…just volcanic rock and blue fish was all we saw. It was hilarious as the beach was closed because of avalanche risk after the earthquake earlier this year but people were still lying on the beach underneath the cliffs - sums up the Greeks pretty well!
We sailed past their famous white beach but it looked horrible..we are so spoilt at home!
After a magnificent feast we all had cocktails and watched the sunset.
It was a lot of upward steps back to our accommodation but we resisted a donkey ride and met this cool jeweller from Buenos Aires Rich got a lava and tiger eye bracelet for himself that she had made in her shop.Read more
