The day is free to swim, relax at one of the local cafes or visit the museum in Syros within walking distance where there is an excellent collection of Cycladic artifacts. We will moor in Naxos harbor. When arriving in the harbor, you will notice a marble arch on which construction began in 530 BC and was never completed. We will moor at Port Ios. This is an excellent island to replenish provisions.
Shopping is good, as are the tavernas on the waterfront.
The day is free to spend at the beach. Our destination is Santorini . Depending upon weather conditions and access to a limited mooring area, we will either sail or take a ferry to Santorini. Upon arriving in Santorini an air conditioned bus will pick you up and take you to a tour of Akrotiri, Fira and Oia where you can see the view of the dormant volcano. Enjoy coffee, ice cream or a sweet at one of the local cafes, enjoy the most spectacular sunset, and then regroup for the return to our coach and boats.
