Friday 7th to Saturday 8th June, Methana town
With light northerly winds we finally got a sail unfurled as we sailed slowly south on the eastern side of Methana, and decided on a whim to stop for the night on the inside of the ferry wall of Methana…
Thursday 6th to Friday 7th June, Vathi, Methana
A gentle motor in windless conditions for 9 miles across the bay to the lovely harbour of Vathi on the ‘island’ of Methana. It’s not really an island, instead joined to the mainland by an isthmus. We’d been here last…
Wednesday 5th to Thursday 6th June, Old Epidavros

Tuesday 7th to Friday 10th May, Kastos
