Saturday 5th to Monday 7th October, Vathi, Methana

This is one of our favourite harbours in the area, and as we entered there were only about 5 other yachts tied back onto the wall, we thought ideal!. However as we tied up, a Taverna owner came up to…

Friday 4th to Saturday 5th October, Secluded bay 1m South of Vathi, Methana

A change of scenery was needed, with no wind, a 10m motor to anchor alone in a bay a mile south of Vathi on Methana. Crystal clear (and warm) water tempted both of us in for a swim and snorkel.

Thursday 19th to Friday 20th September, Vourkari Bay, Kea

With a F4/5 northerly forecast for the 20 mile run south to Kea, we were expecting a reasonable sail. However, the actual wind direction had other plans and was about F3 from the South, so we ended motoring in a…

Sunday 15th to Thursday 19th September, Karystos, Evia

We had stopped here for a few nights a couple of months ago, this time however, rather than fighting a side wind to moor up stern to, we opted for the luxury of port side to against the harbour wall….
