Sailing (and photographing) the Greek Isles

onboard the 116.47ft/35.5m Iraklis L Schooner

Enjoying the scenery, under sail from Antiparos to Ios

The Iraklis L docked at Ermoupoli

We dined most nights onboard the Iraklis L

(docked here at Ermoupoli)

The harbor at Kythnos

with unlucky octopi awaiting consumption

Ermoupoli, on Syros Isle, is the largest city in the Cyclades

The narrow, twisting streets of Mykonos were designed to defeat its fierce winds

(and also, in the past, to confuse pirate raids)

A back street in Naousa, on Paros Isle

Ios Town, on Ios Isle

a major party town, in spite of its numerous churches and chapels

We climb the volcanic cone of Nea Kameni Isle

with the city of Fira perched on top of Santorini Isle in the background

Fira, the capital of Santorini Isle, lies in a dangerous earthquake zone

Houses and churches on the cliff in Fira, rebuilt after the 1956 earthquake

The view from Fira over the Aegean

The streets of Nafplio, a seaport on the Peloponnese

The harbormaster at Ydra (Hydra) Isle guides us into port
