Day 2 - Sunday
This morning we'll sail to Agia Kiriaki. Agia is Greek for saint/holy and Kiriaki is Sunday. This bay, on the mainland of Greece, translates to Holy Sunday. Take your first swim and walk along the beachfront town. It's always Sunday here. Dinner is included tonight.

Sail to Skiathos; famous for its role in the film Mamma Mia; need we say more. Spend the evening on the quay, choose a charming taverna and watch life go by.

Day 4 - Tuesday
