The description of this place appealed to us as it sounded a bit like “Old Greece” which it was.
A little harbour with nothing more than a couple of tavernas and a bar and known for it’s shrimps.
The chart readings go down to 1.9 m and is only 10 ft wide at the entrance, so its an interesting approach.
This was our first attempt at mooring in a harbour stern too and using the anchor instead of lazy lines. Our first attempt looked ok but we knew we didn’t really have enough chain out, so up with the anchor it was. Unfortunately it came up with some huge rope attached which Gordon had to hastily come forward to detatch . Next attempt was much better and a Greek man came and took our lines to shore which makes life so much easier. He said he had seen us from the Taverna on our first go at it and knew we hadn’t put enough chain out the 1st time. All a learning curve!
The harbour is lovely, nothing much other than the few tavernas / cafes. There was a village further on up the hill a bit. We ate in one of the tavernas last night and the only thing to mar this was the bar played loud music until 2am. However, it’s such a lovely place we have decided to stay again tonight and this time we’ll put our earplugs in when going to bed.
While I’m updating this, Gordon is having a look at the starter motor for the engine, that’s a few times in the past couple of days it hasn’t turned over when trying to start the engine. Hopefully it won’t be anything too serious. I’m now off to grab him away from it and take a walk up to the village.
We were just about to set off when a Dutch flotilla came in led by a woman on her tod so we stayed to watch. In discussion with her later she said it was her favourite place because nobody comes here because of the shallow depth warnings in the pilot books.
