Mooring up in Koroni in the Peloponnese was a delightful surprise. The still, protected waters of the harbour reflected the hazy orange sunset and the seaside restaurants played soothing music to accompany the quiet chatter from the diners. We fell instantly in love with Koroni in the Peloponnese, and it quickly made our list of Greek towns to return to on our travels. If you’re looking for a mixture of… Read More »Koroni In The Peloponnese
Kastos in Greece has quickly become one of our favourite sailing destinations. A small but perfect Greek island, with local charm, beautiful beaches and the bluest of seas.

With our shallow draft we decided to come alongside here and had depths of 2.9m (though after a little scout around we could see some rocks and debris that may effect boats with a bigger draft). The north westerly wind blows right through the gap in the harbour wall here so we… Read More »Kyparissia In The Peloponnese: A Cruisers Guide

It is, however, smart looking and… Read More »Sailing In Argostoli, Kephalonia: A Cruisers Guide

Just an hours walk outside of the chaos of bars, inflatable pool toys and party ferries you will find a little haven, perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon and an ideal escape from the heat of the day. We visited the waterfalls at the beginning of July, expecting a dry wall of rock. We… Read More »Dimosari waterfalls in Nidri, Greece
Opposite the Kephalonian capital of Argostoli but far less well known than many Kephalonia hotspots, Lixouri really shouldn’t be ignored. We didn’t expect much from this little sea front town, but the laid back feel coupled with stretches of pretty much private beaches made this a highlight of our trip. Getting to Lixouri Lixouri seems a pain to reach by car, being tucked all the way round on the finger… Read More »Things to do in Lixouri, Kephalonia
