Plaka LEONIDION - Paralia ASTROUS

Weather : Sunny ca.40°C
Wind : SE 1 Bf increasing to SE 3 Bf in the afternoon between 1500 - 1800h.

Today is gonna be a very hot day,
there's nearly no wind.

In the morning we filled up our watertanks (3 Euro for ca. 200 liters).

We motored North along the Arcadian-coast, the nature is very impressive.

After 2 hours we anchored in Ormos Krioneri for a swim and lunch.
With this temperatures, swimming is a must.

At 1600h we carried on our trip towards Astrous,
were we moored at the quay at 1700h.
There are only 3 visiting yachts here today.

Paralia Astrous is a nice midsize touristtown,
it sight is dominated by the old Venetian castle on top of the mountain.

In the evening there's a lot of activity in the streets and restaurants,
Astrous is visited mostly by Greek-tourists.
