Aegean Greece

 


 

Kassos

 

Go alongside the inner quay, space is reserved for yachts so harbourmaster will move any fishing boats in yacht spaces.  Harbourmaster very friendly and helpful.  Offers email service, also ACS internet cafe only 3Euro/hour and can take your own laptop up for 2 Euro/hour.  Good quality fruit and veg.  Mylos taverna good for basic fare.

 

Tilos

 

Town quay has been dredged so there is 2-3m depth along the town quay, berth stern or bows to.  Water and electricity available.  Electricity 3 Euro a day.  Water available.  Good provisions, tavernas and restaurants ashore.  Internet cafe 3.50 Euro per 30 minutes.

 

Nisiros

 

Palon harbour stern or bows to outer mole, can go alongside eastern breakwater but a tripper boat comes in there so you may have to move.  Limited provisions, but a bakery, butcher, and fish from the fishermen.  Water by mini-tanker.  Captain's taverna excellent, cheap food and bike rental.  A trip to the volcano possible by scooter, takes a few hours and is a must see.  Go early to avoid the crowds.  Watch out for the cat on the quay, lifting your passerelle won't deter him from boarding you, he jumps!

 

Kos

Kos marina is extremely busy so avoid midweek onwards, the marina staff will move your boat to make way for charter boats.  Excellent facilities and suprisingly cheap provisioning in the supermarkets behind the marina.

 

Lipsi

Pleasant anchorage, good shelter and holding.  Town has basic provisions, fresh fish from fishermen on the quay

 

Pythagorion, Samos

Bow or stern to town quay, alternatively anchor in the bay outside of the main harbour, poor holding on sand and weed.  Space is at a premium due to several charter fleets monopolising space on the quay.  Excellent holding in main harbour.  Water and electricity on the quay, expensive!.  Excellent chandler in main street.  If you have fridge problems ask for Giannis in Anthemis cafe on the front.  Excellent provisioning, cheap car and scooter hire.  Recommend taverna Trata on beach front past the Pythagoras hotel.  New marina constructed and completed 20 minuts walk eastwards of town.  All facilities are in place but it's deserted.  Large travel hoist and lots of hardstanding.

 

Agathonisi

Charming port on the south of the island, good shelter.  Anchorage is quite crowded but you can go Bow or stern to ot alongside the quay avoiding the coastguard and ferry berths. Many of the bars and restaurants offer internet and showers.  Recommend George's taverna near the quay.
