Tuesday 13th to Wednesday 14th June, Kiparissi
Another motoring day and we moored stern to on a wall at the northern end of Kiparissi bay and were immediately welcomed by rain. So once it had stopped we got the bikes off and cycled round the bay and…
Monday 12th to Tuesday 13th June, Ieraka
Just a one night stop in the very sheltered inlet at the village of Ieraka, anchoring in 2.5m. Ashore we ate in one of the 2 tavernas and without phones (no photos therefore). It is often difficult to find the…
Friday 9th to Monday 12th June, Monemvasia
We WhatsApp’ed Mateo the unofficial harbour master at Monemvasia en route and fortunately there was a space inside the harbour for us. It was a bit noisy during the day as they’re extending the harbour, but interesting to watch the…
Thursday 8th to Friday 9th June, Dhiakofti, Kithera
We’re aiming for Monemvasia on the mainland, but with no wind, motoring to Dhiakofti got us a bit closer. A very mixed place, a couple of bars and tavernas on a nice beach, but very sad to see a 40′…
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…
