A Floating Ship in the Sky named the Achilleas appeared off the coast of Greece. The ship was travelling between the mainland of Greece at Kimi and Skiros, one of Greece’s islands.

It happened because of a bizarre optical illusion. This Floating Ship in the Sky or these kinds of illusions happen when the sun heats the air above either land or sea. The warm air sits on top of cooler air, making light bend weirdly, and making things look misshapen or deformed. This Floating ship in Greece has been seen in different parts of the country.

People thought it might be because of a story about the Flying Dutchman, a legendary ghost ship. This story is mentioned in a book by Jonathan Eyers called “Don’t Shoot the Albatross!.” Also, this illusion isn’t just seen at sea. It can make mountains look like they’re floating, too.

This strange phenomenon of a Floating Ship in Greece was captured by a photographer named Nontas Kalogiannis. It perfectly showed the illusion called a Fata Morgana, which is a kind of strange mirage. 

Fata Morgana, which is the Italian name for Morgan le Fay, the wizard from the stories of King Arthur who was said to use magic to create illusions of fairy castles to attract sailors into danger, has caused a floating ship in the sky over time. For example, people have seen Floating Ship in the Sky near the shores of Britain in places like Cornwall, Devon, and Aberdeenshire. In other places, four ships were seen appearing to hang above the water.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
