Nydri, Levkas, Greece

I am going to look at a boat moored near Nydri next week.
What can I expect in the way of weather - is a trial sail out of the question ?
Thanks,
Ken

Hi, I'm new on this forum and not quite sure how it works. Hopefully you get this!

I've spent lots of time in Nidri and I can tell you that it is very sheltered. You'll have to get out a bit to get some decent wind, if its blowing. The weather forecasts for that area are usually quite acurate but I would get at least more than one.

Hi,

Our boat is in the marina at Lefkas, though I'm in UK at the mo. The weatheronline.co.uk site gives a good 5 day forecast for the area - generally reliable especially day 1-3. The Ionian is split down into quite detailed parts.

Happy to help with opinion on any other local info if you need it.

Cheers

Steve.

The weather could be anything.

In the area last week was raining and gales with about 2hrs sun. The week before would have given a great time with sun and some nice breezes.

weatheronline.co.uk forcasts seam to be quite good for the area.

I would have thought a trial sail a must --- the weather is rarely a problem just go south down the canal to the best cruising area for many a nautical mile. If you need any knowledge of yachts in thr area Imay be abke to help having been based in Nidri/Levkas for many years
