This morning, we visited the island of Delos, a sacred sanctuary of Apollo. First, we explored the residential area, including wealthy villas with beautiful mosaic floors, followed by stops at an impressive theater, the sacred sanctuary, and the Avenue of the Lions. In the afternoon, the crew went aloft to set the sails. We had an opportunity for water safaris in the Zodiacs, allowing us to admire and photograph the majestic Sea Cloud under sail.

Sea Cloud
Sifnos, Greece
Today’s port of call was Sifnos, a small island gem in the Cyclades. The captain took us to a nice little port, Platos Gialos. Two groups, Zeus and Apollo, went on a scenic drive to medieval Kastro. This town was built on a small hill as a castle, as the word Kastro suggests. As we walked the narrow streets, we were amazed by its charm. Cats invited us to pet them, and amazing views opened around every corner. Some of us went down to a small peninsula to see the picture-perfect Church of the Seven Martyrs while others immersed themselves in the town’s atmosphere. Our next stop was Kamares, a ferry port in a beautiful bay. We were treated to a selection of the best local food Sifnos can offer on a terrace by the beach.
