Arki's coves are considered some of the bluest coves in the Agean Sea. Day 3: Patmos Set sail the next morning to Patmos. The island is probably most well known for having been a vision given to the disciple John in the New Testament. After John's death, a number of basilicas were erected on the island, and the monestary is well worth a visit.

But I was not prepared for the sheer delight that I experienced on board Tag as we set sail from Samos last year. It was truly a remarkable and memorable experience with magnificent weather, sailing and cuisine and probably most importantly, absolutely superb hospitality and seamanship displayed by you Justin, as you captained the vessel and explained all about the local history as we cruised from island to island on Tag. All in all, a great holiday adventure whilst at the same time, learning a little about the history of that part of the world and sampling some of the best sailing waters around, in a vessel that simply does it all in style and with absolute safety. We've booked again this year. Ross. Melbou rne
