Any suggestions about price level and shops where can buy.

Daft question but - how long are you there for? You certainly wont need them at this time of year

I will stay there about a week. I just wondered are foul weather clothes there cheaper?

To be honest i dont reemeber seeing any in the chandlers there. Wasn't particularly looking though. My impression of greek sailing is - shorts during the summer and park the boat up in the winter. I'm sure some peple do have a need for oilies in greece but i've never seen them.

You can get Lalizas stuff cheaply in most chandlers and boat shops but the decent quality stuff is hard to find and expensive.
When the meltemi blows, you need decent kit, all other time, shorts and a t shirt, factor 50 suncream and a bimini are needed

For most sailing in Greece, until about mid October you'll only need a lightweight waterproof to go over a fleece - and that'll cope with the occasional thunderstorm you may encounter.

If you're doing night watches, you may need a lightweight pair of waterproof trousers as well.

Heavier stuff would only be sensible if you're doing 2/3 day delivery work.
