#Aegean

Heavy mooring lines and sailing halyards sit coiled neatly upon the foredeck trampoline of a catamaran knifing through the Aegean Sea. Beyond the bow, the deep sapphire water breaks into frothy white wake against the distant, sheer volcanic cliff walls of the ancient drowned caldera.

Perched precariously upon the volcanic rim of the Santorini caldera, a whitewashed Cycladic chapel gleams beneath the intense Mediterranean sun. A rustic olive branch sways in the sea breeze in the foreground, framing the chapel’s sunlit bell tower against the shimmering cobalt expanse of the Aegean Sea below.
