We began and ended today by experiencing the beauty of Sea Cloud in the rising and setting of the sun. We entered the port of Katapola on Amorgos Island as sunlight spilled across the landscape, casting its light on the village below. The morning was spent visiting a dramatic monastery and a quaint village on Amorgos. An afternoon filled with sailing ended as the crew ascended the rigging to furl the sails as the sun set on the horizon ahead.

Sea Cloud
Sifnos, Greece
Today’s port of call was Sifnos, a small island gem in the Cyclades. The captain took us to a nice little port, Platos Gialos. Two groups, Zeus and Apollo, went on a scenic drive to medieval Kastro. This town was built on a small hill as a castle, as the word Kastro suggests. As we walked the narrow streets, we were amazed by its charm. Cats invited us to pet them, and amazing views opened around every corner. Some of us went down to a small peninsula to see the picture-perfect Church of the Seven Martyrs while others immersed themselves in the town’s atmosphere. Our next stop was Kamares, a ferry port in a beautiful bay. We were treated to a selection of the best local food Sifnos can offer on a terrace by the beach.
