SUGGESTED ANCHORING SPOTS IN GREECE
- Anti-Samos Cephalonia, location where Captain Corelli’s Mandolin with Nicholas Cage was filmed, crew always get brownie points from their guests when they put on the movie while anchored in the bay in which it was filmed.
- Voidokilia beach, Pylos west Peloponnese, although yachts are not allowed to anchor in the bay as it is a nature protected sight. It’s extremely beautiful and great when approached with a canoe or paddle board.
DID YOU KNOW THAT...?
- After being closed for two years, the Corinth Canal will be re-opening on the 5th of July until the end of October.
- Saranda Albania is just 12 nautical miles from Corfu and so ideal stopping place to take cheap bunkers before entering Greece.
- Athens is fast becoming a gastronomic destination boasting 6 Michelin star restaurants and 3 Bib Gourmands.
