Greece 2017 (not about tax... just about beer, sunsets...)

[alexsailor]

Hi Greece Lovers!

What are the plans for 2017?
Can't wait to sail down there
Thinking to cruise around Peloponesse again.

For us it's back to Croatia after 3 seasons in Greece as we missed it a lot during our Greek time. So much of the place we didn't get to see but hopefully we'll be back in a few years

 

[alexsailor]

Interesting.
I keep my boat in Croatia and I miss Greece

Lucky they are next door - I just wonder whether we will ever get out of the Eastern Med as we planned to do so years ago. It's a nice problem to have.

Nothing to adventurous for us this year, back to the boat in Corfu in early May, couple of weeks around Corfu, Paxos and the mainland and then through the Lefkas canal to spend a few lazy weeks re-aquainting ouslves with our favourite haunts

Just chilling out in Crete as the OH has been told she has to rest due to a detached retina, quite looking forward to it for a change.

Aiming to back in the water by early June, then round the Peloponnese if we can motivate ourselves, otherwise Ionian again.

Not been to Greece for a couple of years, really miss it, currently slumming it in the Bay of St Tropez!

Last year we left Greece with the notion of sailing slowly back to England. We got as far as Venice via a very pleasant season cruising through Montenegro and Croatia.

This season ... we are headed back to Greece again, at a equally leisurely pace. We miss the place, we miss the people. Maybe this time we'll establish a permanent base in Corfu, at least until Brexit sees us kicked out.

It would be great to meet up with any of you fellow Philhellenes who happen to be around!

Well that was the point
I ride the waves on Jeanneau SO43DS (not many around).
Welcome...

I found out that anchoring is nice (and cheap) way for overnighting but you get lonely (despite my lovely girlfriend onboard),
So probably we should fly a beer flag when in need of a company

Be down in the Ionian come ay, Corfu until then, have a look out for Englander, in vliho bay, where we base and cruise from.

I find the CA flag works well as a chat then beer/wine/ouzo flag. I guess my new forum burgee will be the same but with added political opinions.

Good idea, but my wife wil want a wine flag as well

WHAT one wine flag

 

[Capital_R]

A ready to drink/bbq flag! What a great idea

What is the "CV" Flag? Charlie Victor?

If I'd make it up... if put up Kilo/Romeo (preparing to replenish/I wish to communicate)... unless that means something else already.



My plan was to be based in Patras... and make a pilgrimage to Gallipoli for April 21st.

Where are the best places in the West to tour by boat? (I speak academic Greek, but am not a local)!

 

[jordanbasset]

Thinking aout it Vic, think I will need to produce a few more for when Chrissy and Cathy get together

''My plan was to be based in Patras... and make a pilgrimage to Gallipoli for April ''

Good luck with Patras- it's the one place we've been since leaving U.K. that we'd never return to!

 

[Capital_R]

Wow. Looking forward to all the other places that are better. Did you have a bad experience, or is everything else simply so much better?
