Just one night at a very peaceful anchorage, and a run ashore to walk to the small Venetian tower overlooking the bay and a drink in the only open Taverna, of about 10 in the village. We wonder when the…

With strong north westerlies forecast on Sunday we needed shelter in Skiathos harbour, the only option available being a few, stern to slots, with anchor (no lazy lines) on the north side of the floating pontoon, not ideal given the…

Just 6 miles across to the village of Loutraki on the western side of Skopelos, and stern to onto another pontoon, this time on the south side offering a safer mooring from the strong north westerlies forecast yet again for…

Just a 1 night reconnaissance visit (discovered a fishing shop that Stew might be interested in) and stern to onto quay. Patitiri is fairly picturesque, although being the ferry port for Allonissos, it’s quite busy, and in fact one of…

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…
