Sailing in Greece - And we're off!

We took a taxi from Athens to Lavrion Port where we picked up our boat - the "Amphiliki".


It was all rather different and exciting and even at this point we knew this trip was going to be something special!
We stocked up on provisions at the local supermarket who then delivered all the food, drinks and ice down to the boat for us. All of our favourite food was selected including lots of Haloumi cheese!!
By 2pm or so we were on our way.  It was a little nerve racking throwing off the ropes and motoring away but very exciting too. 

Later in the day after sailing for awhile, a rope was thrown off the boat and we hung on for dear life as we were dragged along.  What fun!!

On our first night we anchored near a sand bar on Kythnos Island and the next morning we visited a natural hot spring. Incredible - a naturally occurring hot tub!!

What a great start to our trip. More details to follow over the next few days.....
