Hi Middy- don't work TOO hard- save some energy for sightseeing!
We didn't do many trips this year- only 1 in fact (beach in Romania- not great!) We went into Corfu town and did the mini train and drooled at the shops! Zakynthos was a pretty town, took taxi to beach for 12 euros each way (he came back for us at appointed time). Water was perfect for swimming. Itea was a surprise as I was expecting a busy large town- it was far from it! Very pleasant stop, we just wandered but priced taxis- they were asking 50-60 euros to go to Delphi, wait hour and a half and return. Walked to both marinas in Piraeus. Volos was shut! Had a nice walk before the storm. Came back through canal much earlier this year- about 11 pm. Also nice night time sailing under the Rio- AntiRio bridge.
We even had calm seas on the Crimean leg!
