Exploring the Greek islands by boat with six friends over six days provided stunning views from their room with a view. Each day, they would anchor in quiet bays for breakfast and swimming before sailing to the next island. In the afternoons and evenings, they explored the townships, sampling local cuisine and rosé. Though one day brought high swells, overall the weather was perfect for learning sailing skills and taking in the beauty of the whitewashed homes and bougainvillea flowers along the coast. Moments of calm allowed for reading with the sound of the wind catching the sail as their vessel glided through the Mediterranean Sea.

Set on a secluded cove of white sand beach at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by tropical gardens and rainforest, BodyHoliday Saint Lucia is the ultimate getaway for body and mind. Recognised as one of the finest destination resorts and centre of well-being, there couldn’t be a more idyllic corner of the world to escape to. But what makes this vacation truly idyllic is it’s designed by you.
I’m attracted to gemstones’ connectivity to our planet. Not just considering the millions of years they’ve taken to form in the deep dark heart of our earth, but the colours they reflect in other parts of nature.
Take the Garnet
The Garnets’ name comes from the Latin granatum, which means grain. When the stone is cut in its typical cabochon (domed) style, it amazingly resembles the translucent red seeds of the Pomegranate.
Lobsters undoubtedly make sumptuous meals. In order to learn more about lobsters you can look at my PPT slides that will take you across the oceans and help you get an idea about these amazing sea creatures.

Sun-Kissed Dreams Pinpointing the Best Greek Island for Beach.pdfstep2travelofficial
Beaches in Greece are some of the most beautiful places on Earth. Find out the best greek island for beach where they are located and what makes them so special!
1. ROOM WITH A VIEW
WHEN IT COMES TO EXPLORING
THE GREEK ISLANDS BY BOAT,
THE MORE THE MERRIER, RACHEL
MACDONALD FINDS.
Waking up to the first rays of the sun and
turquoise blue Mediterranean waters below,
experiencing the Greek Islands by boat was a
sight to behold – especially when our room
had a view like this.
Hopping on board in Athens, we had set sail
to explore the Greek islands over six days. As a
group of six friends – and one patient skipper
aptly nick named‘Dad’– we quickly adapted
to boat life and island time.
The day’s routine soon consisted of finding
a quiet bay to anchor for a wake up swim and
breakfast, before spending the afternoon
sailing in the balmy Greek sun towards the
next port of call.
The afternoons and evenings were spent
exploring the various islands’townships
and surrounds, sussing out the best of the
local cuisine on offer. We consumed copious
amounts of beautiful fresh tapas – seafood,
salads and cheeses – over many glasses
of local rosé, embracing the lively Greek
hospitality of these quaint island towns.
The weather was fantastic – even with it
being one of the hottest weeks of Summer –
which meant conditions were perfect to learn
the ropes of the boat. At any opportunity to
get the sails up, it was all hands on deck.
The final day was an exception, as we clung
on for dear life while the boat faced huge
swells – turning both the living quarters and
most stomachs upside down.
The great thing about exploring these
islands is you rarely get bombarded with the
usual tourist upsell. Time becomes irrelevant
when exploring the streets of whitewashed
homes, bougainvillea flowers and locals
eagerly engaging in conversation about their
doings of the day.
Amongst all this constant exploration of
islands and consumption of fresh food were
moments of calm – with all the conditions
necessary to grab a hat and a good book, and
just listen to the wind catch the sail as our
vessel glides through the Mediterranean Sea.

prepared onboard. Fresh salads, olives and
hummus served with a freshly baked ciabatta
– picked up before departing the port for
breakfast.
Sails up and on the move between islands. Often we’d coordinate
with another yacht to meet for lunch along the way – or start a
game of racing each other towards the next port.
This beautiful island
is a favourite holiday
destination for local
Greeks. A charming
historical island
township sprawls around
the water, lined with
streets of cafes,
galleries and bars.
Horse and cart taxis
provide a background
jingle while making the
most of the islands
many gorgeous beachside
tanning spots.
All islands provide various menus of
beautifully cooked, fresh seafood.
With these small communities so
realiant on the sea, there is always
an abundance to go around.
Squid is a commonly sourced delicacy,
with many clotheslines hung outside
restaurants to lure in customers,
while more importantly, drying the
mornings’ catch to an optimum state
before grilling.
A spectacular sunset to
conclude the day.
Agistri, the first port
of call is set within
a stunning landscape of
surrounding islands. We
arrived right on time
for one of the most
impressive sunsets of
the week – then walking
a short 20 metres
from the boat to the
island’s selection of
tasty eateries.
