It was always our aim to get to Santorini, or to give it’s is Greek name Thira, which is why we called the blog to Thira and back.   We...

Our last stop before heading back to base at Lavrion.  It was also our first stop almost 3 weeks ago and where we had problems finding a...

Our second time at the sand bar bay, our favourite anchorage on Kithnos and maybe in the whole of the Cyclades.   It is stunning.   The...

Tuesday turned out not to be as windy as forecast, maybe 15 knots, gusting between 21-22 knots, so we decided going to Loutra would be...

Day 17 is back to Finikas, firstly because it’s the best stop off point back to Kythnos, but also because it’s a very safe place in a...

We wanted to go to Tinos town primarily for the famous church, the church of Panagia Evangelistic which is the most important Orthodox...

Today was our longest journey so far, in total about 32 nautical miles about 2/3 of which was windless.   There were a couple of usual...

The sail to Serifos from Kithnos was uneventful and not very exciting sailing wise.  We motored down the west coast of Kithnos, then as...

Today was definitely a lesson in how quickly things can go wrong when sailing, regardless of how much skill and experience you have.   It...

Lavrion, it turns out,  is quite a nice place.  You wouldn’t want to stay here for a week (not much to do), but it’s a great place to...
