Life is a patchwork of experiences
Day 2 of my cruise with Running On Waves in Greece continued to the famous island of Mykonos. I had time to wander the narrow lanes with their whitewashed houses and blue trimmed shutters, do some window shopping and of course, have some ice cream. I ended the day with a beautiful sunset at the Mykonos windmills, one of the island’s most famous sights.
Thanks for visiting

Day 2 of my cruise with Running On Waves started on the island of Delos. The ancient Greeks believed that it was here that the god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis were born. This belief made the island sacred and as a result, no mortal was allowed to be born or die there. One of the unique sights in Delos is the Terrace of the Lions which originally had about a dozen sculpted lions which were dedicated to Apollo by the people of Naxos in around 600 BCE. The island is one big archeological site and was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990.
Thanks for visiting.

Day 1 with the Running On Waves sailing cruise in Greece was at the island of Syros. The island’s capital city Ermoupolis climbs up two hillsides from the harbor and on top of one hill is a catholic church and on top of the other is a Greek Orthodox church. Unlike the whitewashed houses of the other Cyclades islands, the neoclassical architecture here is was built by the wealthy shipping merchants that settled the island in the 1820’s.
Thanks for visiting.
