After 9 enjoyable nights in Moudhros we felt like a change and we set off at 10:00 on Monday 6th June for Myrina , a very pretty port & town just under 20 miles around the island to the NW.
The Port Police in Moudhros even gave us a discounted rate – you normally pay more if berthed alongside (like we were). They charged 42 Euros for 9 days , free water & electricity – can’t complain!
50 Euros per night was the cheapest in Italy! and sometimes no water or electricity – that said in Capri for 105 Euros they did send a golf buggy to take you to the toilets, lol.
I kept the invoice for fun. The next day wasn’t fun however – we were out of Europe !
It was a calm passage of just under 4 hours. I see from the log we motored slowly for a while rounding Nisos Kompri & Kastri , at the entrance to Moudhros bay (waypoint No#2) to try to catch some fish, but just after 11:00 gave up , again !
Passage Moudhros – Myrina.
Nisos (Islands) Kompri & Kastri
We are anchored just about where the pink anchor is above.
We anchored at 14:00 in Myrina bay after a couple of attempts. Seem to remember that from being here two years ago, but once the anchor is in it’s fine. We are expecting a blow & storms in a few days time so that will be the test. Seem to remember that as well from the last time !
It’s just as pretty as we remembered and, at least for now, relatively quiet, only us and one other boat on anchor and the quay about a half full.
Anchored just off the beach
The new platform & ladder getting put to the test.
New place ….. I’d better inspect.

Aye that’ s right, just leave me here with cat food while you two bugger off ashore for a meal eh ? There’ll be no kisses on your return, just remember that.
Dinghy ashore & drinks before dinner – its a hard life.
Kosmos Taverna and the ever present “Holy Mountain” Athos in the distance.
Aye well ok , just a wee kiss though !
