Christos & Nina,
Can we please spend an entire summer on the Shooting Star? This question is a testament to our spectacular sail this month and that our family of four – three of whom had never before slept on a boat – wishes for this: me, my husband Karl, and our two boys, Konrad (15) and Wesley (12).
It’s been a lifelong dream of ours to visit Greece and explore these islands. We were met with extraordinarily windy weather and a first day of sailing having us navigate waves upward of 1.5 m.
Christos recognized Wesley’s oncoming seasickness and immediately had him at the helm, his background instructing sailing in full gear. Wesley manned the wheel for an hour. Every time I had a moment of worry, I looked at Christos in the cockpit, relaxed, smiling and confidently coaching Wesley, and at Nina, serene in the huge bean bag chair at the bow, not flinching as we heard plates and glasses banging in the kitchen cupboards; Christos engaging us in endless conversation of stories at sea and at home, other worldwide travels, extreme pursuits and hours of analysis of the NBA and World Cup (much to Konrad’s bliss). Blankets were at the ready, dolphins played at the bow, the horizon glimmered to watch.
After two days the winds died and, looking back, thankfully our itinerary had to be completely rejigged. Christos expertly arranged everything for us the remaining days. All we discovered of these islands feels a dream:
Deserted coves and swimming holes, charming ports, wonderful shopping spots, a hike to an active excavation site of the Temple of Apollo, and fantastic restaurants (Omega’s on Sifnos, my favourite).
We can’t imagine this week without Nina’s sweet, calming presence, so accommodating our every request from the boys and an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we knew of them: a perfectly sweetened iced matcha on a sunny afternoon; a plate of sweet treats and biscuits for the boys; homemade white bean hummus after a lake day island exploration; lunches encompassing the tastes of the Mediterranean, satisfying, balanced, healthy and delicious; and breakfasts that we lingered over every morning with a second (or third) cup of decadent coffee, crepes with hazelnut spread, a fresh fruit medley, sourdough with tahini, eggs, avocado and lime, and the boys’ favourite scrambled eggs with butter and olive oil, and mounds of yogurt with muesli and berries.
All this while coordinating with three other families, our friends, on a beamy gulet not made for the Cyclades.
Christos and Nina, thank you for making this experience unforgettable, for keeping us safe during inclement weather, engaging with the kids, answering our endless questions about Greece, the Aegean and sailing, and the back-and-forth and back-and-forth tendering to shore and our friends’ boat, catering to our every request; and hosting us on the pristine and most special Shooting Star.
With sincere gratitude and plans to return!
