Skinos (202)
Homer wrote about his beloved island in Greece called Ithaca. This beautiful island has a hidden gem tucked on a private bay known as Skinos. The 400 acre estate is surrounded by crystal clear blue water and pine-scented hills filled with cypress, olive tees and wine terraces. Skinos is a perfect place for an adventure and relaxation in this very private setting.

Work up an appetite for a delicious Greek feast while joining the Edwards family from Texas as they water-ski, snorkel, go sailing, hiking and explore archaeological sites of Odysseus's homeland. Follow along as they visit charming villages or simply relax in the hammock under the olive trees. Accept the invitation to an intimate wedding vows renewal, followed by a celebration in the circle of new found friends.
