Sunday 9th September
After a calm passage South through the Dardanelles, South West winds took us nicely to the most Northerly island in the Aegean, Thassos, where we made up for lost time (in the jellyfish infested waters of the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea) with a wonderful swim in clear water over white sand. Thassos is an important source of marble and, unlike the more Southerly islands, has not been deforested. The combination of high mountains with green slopes below and white beaches with crystal clear water is enchanting
