Charts for the Cyclades Islands

[Guest]

Does anyone know where I can get charts for the Cyclades islands which improve on the Imray offering of 1:190,000....???

Admiralty charts are available

Try 1538 Plans in the Northern Kikládhes Admiralty
1539 Plans in the Central kikládhes Admiralty
1541 Plans in the Southern Kikládhes and Nísos Astipálaia Admiralty
although Heikell 8th edition plus Imray is usually sufficient. Try Marine Chart Services ( or Imrays in St Ives)

Thanks Steve, Got the Heikell and two Imrays - The GWP is great for harbours, and the more well known anchorages. However - disappointed with the Imrays - at 1 cm tp appx 1 Nm, I am trying to get hold of something a bit better for finding secluded spots. Do you know if the admiralty ones are of a better scale? The Imrays seem ideal for passage planning from island to Island. But it seems a bit tricky geting hold of something with detailed shoreline surveys.

Hi Nick
Wait untill you get out there.. In most of the chandlers you can obtain a very good and detailed Greek chart book writen by Capt E Nicolious it is in English
IMHO it is better than the Heikell although ,I do have that as well .It also give you all the history of the places that you vist .It is not cheepabout £40 but worth it
