3 - 10 July 2020
The delayed tourist season started on 1st July with selected countries, but not including the UK, who were put back to the 15th. We thought this was a wonderful opportunity to go sailing round the islands before the rush. We talked to our nice friends at Nisos and chartered a yacht for a week.
The delayed tourist season started on 1st July with selected countries, but not including the UK, who were put back to the 15th. We thought this was a wonderful opportunity to go sailing round the islands before the rush. We talked to our nice friends at Nisos and chartered a yacht for a week.
We set off on a Friday and the first couple of days before the weekend charterers arrived were blissfully empty of other vessels. It must have been like this for sailors in the 80s before it all got so popular.
We took multicoloured provisions from home - kale quiche and sauerkraut - our anti-scurvy diet!
Our most favourite place in the whole world - One Yacht Bay. Just us, turquoise waters and a regular evening procession of goats to watch. Blissful.
Plenty of fish in the sea
Usually one of the most popular ports in the Ionian - Kioni, where you can never get on the quay!

A hitchhiker we picked up in Sivota and didn't notice till half way to Kastos - poor thing was hanging on to the top of the outboard engine, braced against the wind as we headed up to the village. In the bustle of mooring up I didn't see if it made it safely ashore, but I hope it did, and wasn't too traumatised by the experience.
All peaceful and lovely in Kastos harbour.
Our last night under the stars - we couldn't think of anywhere better to be than where we started, back in our favourite bay, this time with wine.
