I hope they enjoyed my pretty moon! The old town is absolutely charming with ancient winding streets, too narrow for cars, snaking up the contours. Care needs to be taken down by the ferry quay where the shops are - we got taken for €8.00 for two beers! We were so shocked we didn't even protest! Welcome to tourist Greece!

Halkidiki - Mount Athos and the Akti Monesteries. Getting around the peninsula in one day is quite a challenge. It's 60 miles round and in any sort of a wind, there are ferocious gusts and vicious seas around Mount Athos (which is 4000M high).

Halkidiki - the Western 2 fingers. We havered between finishing our Mount Athos marathon at Ammouliani or at Diapora. In the end, we judged that Diapora was more likely to give us a safe, crowd free anchorage which is a necessity after a long passage so that is where we went. We had hoped to pick up supplies and water there befo...

Back to Crete for the Winter. A short hop under spinnaker put us into Porto Heli a very different prospect. A superb anchorage with a huge friendly supermarket and the Neilson base (sadly now closing) which welcomed yachtsmen except at weekends. The village is lovely – very small and sleepy with friendly people who ...
