Agios Thomas – Aegina
Hello Saronic Gulf.
Finally arrived in the Saronic Gulf, we spent our first night on the uninhabited island of Agios Thomas. How wonderful it is to finally be here. The very next day, we set off again to spend a special day.

September 15th 2024: Agios Thomas – Aegina
What do late sleepers like to do most on their birthday? That's right, get up early. But the earlier you leave, the earlier you arrive, and that was exactly our goal, as we had a lot planned.
At 07:10, we lifted our anchor and set our course to 120 degrees. With a light northwesterly wind, we slowly headed east towards our next destination. At 8 o'clock, we were finally able to set sail when the wind increased to 8.5 knots. With a speed of 3.5 knots, we weren't fast, but we were comfortably on our way and could really enjoy the journey.

Afterward, we went ashore and were simply delighted. The town was beautifully decorated and everything was pistachio-themed. We didn't know in advance that the pistachio festival was on this day, but we were all the happier for this experience. The island really offers everything with pistachios - even cocktails. How cool is that?! We enjoyed this great festival. We ended the day on land and plunged into the festivities. Very unusual, but lovely.
