Greek writer and Nobel Prize nominee, Nikos Kazantzakis: “One of the purest joys that man can afford in this world is to visit the Aegean Sea in the spring, with a breath of light breeze; I have never been able to imagine paradise in any other way.
This joy grows right upside down, but God does not allow it to escalate so that the beloved visible world does not disappear with it, on the contrary, the invisible world becomes visible, and what we call God and eternal life and bliss join us on the ship and accompany us on the voyage. In the bitter hour of your death, close your eyes, and you will see Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Mykonos.”
If that is what you see right before you die you are lucky indeed. The stunning, sweeping views of blue/green waters of Aegean Sea, the constant balmy breeze and the endlessly fascinating artifacts at every turn are truly magical, and I am glad I get to share a glimpse of my trip with you.
