Wednesday 2nd to Friday 4th July, Agia Triada
33 miles today and a really good sail, literally all the way with a brisk southerly wind. We even had a visit from a few dolphins for a couple of minutes. We then dropped anchor for a couple of nights,…
Tuesday 1st to Wednesday 2nd July, Nea Moudania
A 40 miler today and unfortunately motoring for 3/4 of it, to the rather rundown harbour at Nea Moudania. The main pontoon had certainly seen better days, with large gaps, some with planks to walk across, between the wider gaps…
Monday 30th June to Tuesday 1st July, Agios Nikolaos
We’ve started heading to Thessaloniki now for our summer haul out on Friday. This was a lovely sheltered bay, with just us and a fishing boat, although that left at 2.30am in the morning.
Friday 27th to Monday 30th June, Porto Koufo
Back to the shelter of Porto Koufo for some strongish winds forecast for Sunday (it seems that we’re getting strong winds every weekend!) and anchoring in the same spot from a couple of days ago. So the chance for a…
Thursday 26th to Friday 27th June, Nikiti
One thing we’re discovering is that the gulf between the first and second finger, and the gulf up towards Thessaloniki both lack good protective anchorages and reasonably well maintained and managed harbours. The exceptions being 2 or 3 VERY expensive…
Tuesday 24th to Thursday 26th June, Porto Koufo
A 40 mile leg to the north today, to the middle of the 3 fingers that hang down from the north Greece coast. Typically the wind for such a passage would be on the nose. Today however there was no…
Monday 23rd to Tuesday 24th June, Planatis Bay, Kira Panagia
We’d actually been here on a flotilla holiday in about 2010, and the only change over the years is that the island of Kira Panagia is now in the Alonnisos National Park, and consequently now costs €35 per night plus…
Thursday 19th to Monday 23rd June, Limnonari Bay, Skopolos and Milia, Alonnisos
Just 1 night at anchor off Limnonari Beach before heading across, with a good sail on Friday to the sheltered bay at Milia on the south coast of Alonnisos. Here anchoring is forbidden, so we picked up the last of…
Monday 9th June to Thursday 19th June, Skiathos, a week with Fern and Stew and Skiathos again
Back to the pontoon at Skiathos town for a couple of nights to restock and wait for the Tuesday’s arrival of Fern and Stew. The airport is not far away so we walked there and walked back to Jacana with…
Sunday 8th to Monday 9th June, Neo Klima, Skopolos
A one night exploratory stop in preparation for next week, with a sail (motor actually) past Agios Ioannis Church, made famous in the Mamma Mia movie. Despite Monday being a public holiday in Greece, we managed to get a breakfast…
