Island Hopping [Ep.20] Sailing Greece - Kythnos to Milos - SV CUBA

Join us in this week’s episode (Sailing Around the World & Island Hopping), as we leave the island of Kythnos in Greece and attempt to sail to Mykonos. But the wind keeps changing and therefore our sailing route changes.

With the Meltemi winds blowing we try to anchor in Sifnos and are chased out of the way by a massive ferry getting dangerously close. Just before the sun sets, we manage to find a protected anchorage and go to explore the town. There we stumble upon a relic no one at sea ever wants to find while sailing or being on a boat in general.

Sea mines, also called naval mines can still be found on the seabed in many areas all around the world. Some of them even still float on the surface and their triggering mechanisms can work for many many years, so Sarah’s fear growing up may not be completely unfounded after all.
The next day we set sail to the island of Milos, one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades, where we are planning to visit the centuries-old Catacombs.

Although most famous for the discovery of the ancient Venus de Milo statue, Milos is also the site of catacombs that tell a tragic story in Greece.
These Catacombs are considered to be the most important early Christian monument of worship, but they are also the largest Christian burial site in the entirety of Greece.

But Milos has so much more to offer, which we will soon find out!

We are Enrique (Kiki) from Cuba and Sarah (Salsa) from Germany, a sailing couple. We are living on a boat, our tiny house, creating a travel vlog as we sail around the world. We have almost zero sailing experience, but are determined to circumnavigate & share our adventures with you.

We are by no means film makers or video editors so please let us know what you think about our videos, what you like to see more of – or less 😉

Sailing life can be a real challenge and a bit scary at times (especially when your home dangles from an iron thread just 10 mm thick). What is to come? We don’t know but day by day we are learning how to live more sustainable, living off grid, more connected to nature, so we can share our adventures with you. Come storm or good weather.
