Absolutely. Last June we got what I thought was a really good spot on the yacht quay at Vathi on Ithaca. Took this pic from our stern at about 3am, didn't get much sleep.

There is another way - a Smart DNS service. This fools iplayer into thinking you're in the UK - works with lots of other things too. I used it all winter in Switzerland. https://www.overplay.net/en

We do the same with a Greek Vodafone SIM in a mifi. TuGo is very good in this regard if you are with O2 in the UK.

I notice it says that the hookup is UK spec. Are the continental ones different?

+1 for the Sami laundry. No self service, but very helpful staff and they do understand that time is (sometimes) important.

Our kids used these people: http://www.kefaloniataxis.com They got their outbound transfer to Sami, and their return from Agia Efimia. I think it was €55 or 60 each way. No problems reported.

correct for Sami - €5.93 per night 11 metre monohull. Currently in Sivota awaiting repairs to our heat exchanger. Lazy lines and water outside the Delfinia taverna - no charge.

Haha ok thanks Vic, I'll stop worrying and just turn up :)

Vathi (Ithaka), visited by the PP, summoned to the office, all papers checked, copied and stamped. No charge.

How hard are these people to do business with? Called into the office a couple of weeks ago - go away - book on our website. Did so, no reply. Phoned them this morning - send us an email, have done so. Am I missing something? How do you book a berth at Lefkas marina? Ta!

Looks like Vic has done the trick that the Troika couldn't - business as usual here in Big Vathi.

Great laundry in Sami, on the road behind the main drag. €9 for a big load washed and dried.

Sami this morning, 1 out of the 3 ATMs working - the one at the post office. No queues.

There was one in Little Vathi last week and another here in Nydri today. I wish it was easier to identify the operators as they might have some nice shots of the boat!

2 nights on the quay at Sami (Keff) €12.59 inc water.
