Sea Day May 19

Today was a sea day and we could use the rest. We departed Naples last night and (this is the official report from the Captain) Proceeded south-eastwards towards the Straits of Messina and Passing the active volcanic island of Stromboli. The strait is a narrow channel separating the Island of Sicily on the west and the Italian mainland on the east. We will continue southwards rounding the toe of Italy and then head toward the southern tip of Peloponnesus and Elafonisou Channel. Then we will enter the Ionian Sea. We will pass the Greek island of Kithria in the south-west part of the Aegean Sea. We then turn north-east and meander through the numerous Greek isles toward Santorini.



We read, napped, ate and just took it easy. Judi had a massage and I worked on my photos.


Below are some pictures we took of the Roman Villa that the University of Maryland is excavating.
