Donkeys on the Streets of Thira in Santorini

On many islands in Greece, donkeys still offer one of the main forms of transport up through the winding hillside streets. In Satorini donkeys are still carry luggage from Athinios the main port on the islands to the town of Fira. For those not keen on a doney ride you can take the cable car to the top which donated to the islanders by Greek shipping owner, Evangelos Nomikos, in 1979.

The cable car foundation compensates the traditional mule drivers by paying them a percentage of the ticket price in order to keep the tradition alive, which is good for tourism.

The Breathtaking Balos Bay in Crete

Hidden away on the coast of Crete is the stunning Balos Bay and Lagoon. It is almost inaccessible by road, making it a favourite amongst discerning charterers looking to avoid the crowds. Your charter yacht will usually anchor somewhere around the cove of Gramvousa, around 200m from the beach, where you can enjoy an al fresco lunch on the deck set to a stunning backdrop. One of the crew will then take you over to the beach on the tender where you and your guests can enjoy an afternoon of swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on the golden sands.
