Sailing the Greek Isles

Lisa Vorderbrueggen tells the tale of "the glorious September week we sailed the Greek Isles on a 32-foot chartered sailboat, just the two of us and a hired skipper."

We pulled up anchor each morning, set a course across the Aegean Sea and moored at a different harbor every night.

Our days consisted of swimming in clear water the color of jewels, strolling amidst 2,500-year-old Greek ruins and soaking up architectural, cultural and culinary delights.

All told, we landed on six islands in the Cyclades region of the Aegean — Kea, Kithnos, Siros, Mikonos, Delos and Rineia.
