Boat trip pt 4 Skorpios and Onasis

Next we sailed we set off on the last leg of the trip. We visited a large cave in the cliff face. The captain sailed us into the cave.
Then we went on to the Onasis family's private island, Skorpios, which is now leased by a Russian oligarch for the next 99 years. We were allowed to land on a small part and swim for half an hour. A security guard watched us carefully. We then sailed round learning about the story of the wealthy Onasis family which is a cross between a modern Greek tragedy and the Great Gatsby.
Then we sailed home into the sunset to Vasiliki.
