Sami

The moment I stepped onto the slipway at Sami, the salty breeze brushed my face and the turquoise line of the Ionian Sea stretched out, dotted with the silhouettes of distant hills. From the dock you can already feel the rhythm of the waves and hear the low hum of the ferry’s engines as it readies for departure. It’s a simple, honest scene that sets the tone for a short but rewarding crossing to the island of Zakynthos.
