Koiladhia boatyard

[Tomar]

Does anyone have a rough idea how much it cost to winterise ashore in Koiladhia and how easy it is to get there from Athens airport? I have a 33 footer and I often do two hauls and two launches per year so ideally a 12 months contract.
Cheers

We stayed in Basimakopolis Yard in Koilada for two winters in 2014/15 so no current info on costs - but you can get a quote on

From memory the costs were similar to Preveza. From Athens you can get high speed hovercraft to Porto Cheli, which is a 10 minute taxi ride from Koilada. The manager (then) was Ilious Evangelos who we found very helpful and a good English speaker. Quality of work by the yard was first class, and there are several b&b places close to.

It's a nice little village, the yard seemed clean, friendly and efficient, we had them repair a dying charger\inverter which others had said was beyond repair, it might be a very quiet place in the shoulder months though.

Yes, the high speed ferry cost around €40 a head one way . Aegina has 4 yards only 1hour from Piraeus. for €13 . IMO Takis is one of the cheapest and friendly . Your choice!

Basimakopouloi can be fully booked by the end of the summer so dont wait. It is a very professional yard.
The flying cat from piraeus to porto heli or ermioni is preferable to the hydrofoil (flying dolphin) https://hellenicseaways.gr/en/routes/view/112
There is also bus x93 from airport to bus station ktel kifisou at athens then bus to kranidi then 10 mins taxi to the yard http://www.ktelargolida.gr/?module=default&pages_id=14&lang=en
The bus can also be done by train airport to corinth then short taxi to ktel isthmos bus station. then bus to kranidi.

Hello, I don't quite get it you fly for 3-4 hours get a bus from the Airport wait for another bus to Corinth then wait for another bus to Porto heli. a possible 4 hour journey with all your baggage and children . Each to their own .

Why corinth? There is direct bus from kifisos to kranidi-ermioni (don't remember exactly which one is nearest to kilada) you are right it is a long way but maybe some families like adventures?
Personally I would recommend Evoiko sea center 1 hour from Athens and 40% discount for those who do double hauling and launching.
