Spetsai, Serifos and Siphnos Islands
It was time to head east into the middle Cyclades again - Richard had a flight to catch - so we sailed the hundred miles or so via green Spetsai (where Niarchos owns an island), then through to Seriphos where Richard caught a ferry. Mostly good sailing but had the jib up down countless times as the wind was flukey and we ran out of wind.

... different colors, evidence of diverse geologic history. The beach was quite empty so I was able to read and nap in peace. There was very little development at the beach, just a couple of tavernas. It seemed hotter than it has been so my long swim felt especially good.
The next day I took the bus to Plaka which is much more attractive than Adamas and more representative of a typical Cycladian town. The Kastro sits on a huge round hill overlooking ...
