Another motoring day, south to the small and uninspiring town of Kilada, where we anchored for the night in its shallow and very sheltered bay. In the morning we did however venture ashore, firstly to the Franchthi cave, a large…

Once we’d motored round the headland from Kilada, we had a good sail tacking across the bay into Porto Heli. Porto Heli is a well sheltered natural harbour, shaped a bit like a jellyfish. With a large new (and expensive)…

Another day when we managed to sail some of the way, in this case with easterlies in to Ermione. Here you have the choice of a small bay to the north of the village or a larger bay with a…

A really good sail in the channel between Hydra and the mainland, but as is typical, when we turned the corner between two islands on the headland, the wind totally switched off and we motored the final 3 miles to…

After the fun of Poros, we spoke with Q, the Dutch Principal of the Aegina Sailing School, who, apart from being very apologetic, suggested we came to his pontoon in Aegina (15 miles to the north) where his stainless steel…

This is a lovely picturesque small harbour situated under Methani’s volcano which last erupted in about 1700. Mooring up stern to, was a challenge in a brisk cross wind, but successful on a second attempt. Like other harbours in this…

We got into Perdika early and had the choice of prime positions on the harbour wall. Then the fun started as the cross winds picked up and the charter boats started arriving. Lots of shouting from all quarters, but the…

We needed a few days away from charter boats, shouting and incompetent skippers (not that we’re always perfect), so Friday night we anchored in a sheltered bay behind Perdika. Saturday we moved to the island of Agistri to anchor in…

No wind as we headed west from Agistri to the mainland, this time to Korfos. We attempted to tie up to the wall outside Papa George’s Taverna, but in no uncertain terms he told us to go and anchor. There’s…

A slow sail for the 6 miles south to Old Epidavros, a delightful and well protected harbour. We could have anchored but decided to go stern to onto the harbour wall, to make use of any available free water tap!…
