Aujourd’hui, ce sera Kythnos. Petite ile moins touristique. En arrivant, nous sommes toutefois surpris de voir le port déjà bien rempli. Le maitre de port déplace légèrement quelques bateaux, voila votre place ! Une petite plage est située tout juste à coté; les jeunes de se font pas prier pour y aller. Seul Vincent préfère les surveiller bien au sec. De cette ile, volcan encore actif, s’écoule des sources d’eau chaude. Un petit bassin a été aménagé pour les retenir. On peut donc se baigner dans un spa en pleine mer Égée.... read more

Here we back on Freedom bobbing around the Mediterranean again. We arrived in a heat-wave and spent the first 2 days doing jobs to make the boat seaworthy and then craned into the water on day 3.

We swam to shore where there was a small cave you could swim into, the acoustics were amazing! We also climbed a bit up the rockface (Matt further than me) and looked out over the ocean. Matt and I explored along the beach line further which was quite rocky and we discovered a shallow hot spring. I hopped in and a local told me it was 38 degrees! It was like an ancient spa. I lay in it for a good twenty minutes and then we eventually swam back to the boat for some lunch. In the afternoon ... read more
