Med Mileage

[Guest]

A friend has recently motor cruised from Lymington to Gibraltar and says thats about 1500nm , can anyone
tell me the total miles Southampton to Greece. I reckon probably a further 8-900 miles ??
Any help would be appreciated. Also at average of 12-15 knts with stops, approx how long weather permitting ?

As far as I can recollect Gib to Malta is about 1000nm and Greece is a few hundred beyond that.

For planning purposes you may have a look at

zoom out a few times and scroll east, then you can choose your points and get mileage

1st bit sounds about right but I think you may be short on your Gib - Greece estimate by about 400 miles.

Gib - Northern tip of Tunisia abt 740nm
North Tun - Southern tip of Sicily abt 260nm
South Sicily - Corynth gulf abt 350 nm

Total 1350nm if maths are not an opinion...
