I love walking along the sea shore, each wave reminds me of the thoughts that arise in our minds creating temporary turbulence, only to fade away. The feel of the sand under my feet and the salt in the air has a therapeutic effect on me. The deep blue Aegean Sea made me aware of the vastness that lies within us waiting to be unlocked.
My friend and I took a trip from Fira in Santorini to a Volcanic Island (Nea Kameni) in a ship which resembled the ones that are seen with the Pirates of the Caribbean. We braved the high tide and an occasional storm which drenched us completely. Every moment aboard was magical, the enchanting blue, simmering sunlight on the low mountain ranges around and the undulating waves that thrashed against the ship. We swayed from left to right and right to left but regained balance soon after, just like life.
A few fellow passengers took a hot spring dip in Palea Kameni on the way and then we lunched at Thirassia savouring delicious sea food. We returned in time for the gorgeous sun set in Oia !!
This is a day trip from Santorini Islands in Greece which can be booked on the island itself. Even if you are not up to walking on a volcanic island, the ride on the ship in the high seas is an experience by it self.

You Will….Just keep dreaming, you never know when opportunity comes your way..
Amen! 😀
Wow! quite adventurous !!
🙂 🙂 Yes of course
I would love to go, my hubby had sea sickness when we went to Lashadweep, is it likely for him to be sick if I plan a trip here?
In Greece, you will move island to island in a ferry and some side trips on a ship like this. The ferry is pretty cool, you dont feel a thing but in a ship, he may feel nauseous since it sways a lot.
Beautiful shots!
Thank You.
Loved this post..Greece is next on my list and Santorini has always been one of my dream destinations 🙂
Thank You. Hope your wish comes true soon.
Very beautiful images n write up ,Greece has been in my wish light for a long time now , have you booked a package for Greece ??
I did this trip nearly 3 years ago and for Europe, I generally move on my own taking trains and buses. Sometimes, I take local tour packages.

oh dats good ,can you suggest me which could be better taking a package from makemytrip or thomascook or opting for local tour package ?
It will be based on your interest. I love local food and culture and a lot of flexibility in my routine. If you are up to it, take local tour packages. Send me a mail at lifeisavacation@outlook.com and I will respond with my itinerary, you can take a call..
