Sunday 4th to Thursday 8th June, Kapsali, Kithera
It was an honour to be in Kapsali with Chris and Alison to celibrate their ‘recent’ wedding, with a bottle of fizzy wine and a few nibbles. Ann picked some wild flowering herbs and some grasses on a walk last…
Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th June, Nikolaos Bay, Kithera
Another half decent sailing day, although we did motor for a few minutes to avoid a collision course with an oil tanker crossing the busy main shipping lanes between Kithera and the mainland. We carried on down the eastern side…
Monday 29th May to Friday 2nd June, Frangos Bay, Elofonisos
With strong North Easterly winds forecast for Thursday, we decided to stay anchored here for a few days, again like Sarakiniko Bay, a beautiful beach with clear (cold!) blue water. Tuesday, suffering from cabin fever we went ashore and walked…
Sunday 28th to Monday 29th May, Sarakiniko Bay, Elafonisos
We finally had a half decent sail from Porto Kayio across the gulf to Sarakiniko Bay on the island of Elafonisos. The bay has a long glorious golden sandy beach backed by sandunes. However with heavy rain we didn’t bother…
Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th May, Porto Kayio
Just an overnight anchorage before we head across the gulf to Elafonisos and Kithera. After motoring for a few hours with quite a swell, we were relieved for a bit of shelter. As was everyone else, as the anchorage was…
Saturday 27th May, Morning stop at the Diros Caves
Three miles down the coast, we just had to stop to visit the Diros caves. At €12 each, we experienced a tranquil gondola boat trip along 1.2km of flooded caves and passages with beautiful formations of stalactites and stalacmites. The…
Friday 26th to Saturday 27th May, Limoni Bay
Motoring again, and we thought this part of Greece was supposed to be windy, stopping for the night in Limoni Bay, a ‘quiet’ bay half way up the eastern side of the central prong of the Peloponnese. Quiet except for…
Wednesday 24th to Friday 26th May, Kalamata
As we were getting very low on water, the only option for miles is Kalamata Marina at €90 for two nights. And we’re a bit apprehensive as the Port Police here have a bit of a reputation! Kalamata is a…
Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th May, Koroni
Again no wind so motored round from Methoni round the bottom into the first of the large bays at the bottom of Greece to Koroni, anchoring in the shelter provided by the harbour wall. Koroni sits on the side of…
Sunday 21st to Monday 22nd May, Methoni
Having had 5 nights in Pilos and it’s bay, and with a break in the weather it was time to move about 8 miles further south, to Methoni. Arriving early and anchoring in the harbour we headed for the shore…
