VikingBlod Voyages

September 4 - 21st Each time our guests leave us there is a day or two of adjustment where things feel a little too quiet. This makes sense because there are fewer people on the boat and we are leaving busier areas, like Kos or Bodrum, and moving on to those that are less so.

What a beautiful little treasure completely sheltered with the most stunning turquoise water yet. It was a quiet bay that hosted about 10 boats at the most, some gulets and some personal yachts. At one end we found a little restaurant/tavern, but we
