Hi, This might not be much information for someone sailing outside of Greece but for all that do, it might relieve a possible headache.
1) You've paid your Greek tepai cruising tax and intend to put your boat in the water on the first of the month. You turn up at the Customs office a day before armed with the regulation letter from the marina stating your boat is out the water and due to go in on the first, copies of Insurance, SSR, Tepai form, proof of payment of Tepai emailed to the customs office, your passport etc. The Customs will not issue a Transit log unless you pay all the Tepai for the month that is just about to finish. A better solution is get the yard to put your boat in last so you have time to get to the Customs office first thing on the first, get the Transit log and attend the Port police then belt back to the marina hoping you've made it or easier get the boat put in on the second.
2) Any crew changes are never considered on a Saturday or Sunday, it's changeover days for the Charters and marinas don't want to know you. Even Fridays can be painful.
These points might be minor for most but they were a monumental pain in the a£$& for us.
