Friday 3rd to Saturday 4th July, Palionisos Bay, Kalymnos
Tonight a mooring buoy, the fee for which is having to eat in one of the two tavernas, depending on whether you choose a red or a white buoy. Once the day had cooled down a bit we went for…
Thursday 2nd to Friday 3rd July, Akti Bay, Kalymnos
We’d ideally liked to have anchored off Pserimos for a night, but because of the constant armada of tourist boats from Kos, we reluctantly gave it a miss, instead opting for somewhere on the eastern coast of Kalymnos. We initially…
Tuesday 30th June to Thursday 2nd July, Kos Marina
We managed a slow sail across to Kos, although had to motor the last 3 miles as we rounded the south eastern headland. With the wind howling through Kos marina, the Marino with the aid of his rib tied to…
Saturday 27th to Tuesday 30th June, Paloi, Nisyros (again)
Symi is the most south easterly of our intented travels in this area, and with the prevailing winds from the north and north west, a windless day was the opportunity to motor out of Symi, and not fight head winds….
Thursday 25th to Saturday 27th June, Symi Town, Symi
Very little wind again so motored round the east side of Symi to the spectacular town of Symi, with its stunning neoclassical architecture clinging to the steep harbour sides. We’d been here years ago on a flotilla holiday where we…
Wednesday 24th to Thursday 25th June, Panormitis Bay, Symi
Well according to the forecast, we should have had a great sail the 25 miles east to the island of Symi. Instead the wind died after a couple of hours and we ended up motoring most of the way to…
Tuesday 23rd to Wednesday 24th June, Potamos Bay, Chalki
Just a one night stop at anchor in Potamos Bay on Chalki (pronounced Halki) after sailing south for about 11 miles and motoring the other 11. Interestingly we had a northwesterly as we went south, and as we rounded the…
Sunday 21st to Tuesday 23rd June, Livadia, Tilos
Another harbour, this one quite small and definitely not free like our previous, €42 for 2 nights excluding water and electricity! And not a great deal to see on the island, apart from a large and fairly modern Chora (the…
Tuesday 16th to Sunday 21st June, Pali, Nisyros
No wind so we motored the three miles south to Pali harbour, where Stavros, the local car rental owner was waiting to take our lines and of course to offer his car hire. And what a lovely harbour, moreso given…
Monday 15th to Tuesday 16th May, Gyali
As we started late, just a short 10 mile run from Kos to the small island of Gyali, anchoring in about 5m quite close to the pumice mining terminal. The island is actually gradually disappearing (like Portland?!!) as vast quantities…
