18th July : ERMIONI - Plaka LEONIDION

ERMIONI - Plaka LEONIDION

Weather : Sunny ca.38°C
Wind : SE 1 Bf increasing to SE 3 Bf in the afternoon between 1400 - 1700h.

After breakfast we hauled anchor at 10.30h.

There isn't much wind and it is a hot day.
So ca. halfway we did a swimstop in the bay Zoyioryia on Spetses.
The seawater is pretty warm (26°C).

In the afternoon we carried on our trip towards the Peloponnese,
the mountains and scenery of the Peloponese are spectacular.

We also spotted a small group of dolphins,
the children we're very excited.

At ca. 17.30h we arrived in Plaka Leonidion,
a small, pictoresque hamlet surrounded by steep mountains.

There's a quay with space for ca. 12 yachts,
every morning and evening they supply water on the quay.
There is a building with showers & toilets on the beach,
behind the blue hotel.

We had dinner at the "Delfini-taverna",
nice food, not expensive and the owner is very friendly and helpful.


Grtz,

Koen & the crew
