Tuesday 25th to Friday 28th July, Trezonia
Trezonia is an island of 2 parts. Round the back is a large, slightly neglected but well sheltered harbour, and at the front, through an alleyway is a lovely sandy bay, with tavernas and bars and day trippers coming across…
Thursday 20th to Tuesday 25th July, Galaxidi
Rather than going stern to in the small harbour we opted for anchoring in the next door bay, and just as well we did as on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock the 40°C hot air fan switched on gusting at…
Wednesday 19th to Thursday 20th July Bay to the south of Galaxidi
Yet another mixed sailing day, starting off by trying to race a German 60′ yacht out of Isidhorou, we naturally didn’t stand a chance, but at least we sailed for a while. Then motored the remaining 10 miles in near…
Tuesday 18th to Wednesday 19th July, Isidhorou
Another very hot day in the very high 30’s with wind and no wind, changing every hour. Today’s destination was Isidhorou, a small village, with two beaches and full of people when we tied up side on to the quay….
Monday 17th to Tuesday 18th July Alkonhides Islands
We luckily had 2 free nights at Corinth, as the fee collector didn’t dwell outside our boat on Monday morning as we dressed. So after spending money in the nearby supermarket we headed out to the west in the early…
Saturday 15th to Monday 17th July, Corinth
Once we’d said our farewells to Fern, a chance to rest and recharge (ourselves, not the batteries) and more importantly, with a launderette not far away, catch up with the laundry. And what a relief, as we’re experiencing a heatwave…
Sunday 9th to Sunday 16th July, A week with Fern
We experienced a superb week with Fern on board, visiting the best of the places we had earmarked the previous 2 weeks. So Monday we did Aegina, Tuesday Vathi, including a taxi ride and walk to Methoni’s still active (by…
Sunday 9th to Monday 10th July, Zea Marina, Piraeus (Athens)
We actually managed to sail most of the way from Kanakia to Zea, avoiding the anchored up oil tankers and then the high speed ferries heading out of Piraeus to the many islands. We chose Zea for the convenience of…
Saturday 8th to Sunday 9th July, Kanakia
As we’re picking Fern up on Sunday in Athens, this is just an anchorage stop near a long, sandy and busy beach to break up the journey.
Friday 7th to Saturday 8th July, New Epidavros (Epidaurus)
Just a 3 mile slow sail north in a gentle morning breeze to the harbour at New (Nea) Epidaurus, and for the first time since Kalamata, lazy (mooring) lines instead of dropping the anchor. So we didn’t really object to…
