Weather : Sunny ca.38°C
After a week of sailing we decided to stay an extra week in an
apartment with swimmingpool in Galatas, opposite from Poros on the mainland,
an ideal combination when sailing with children :
1 week sailing + 1 week hotel/apartment.
From the 'Villa SEAGULL'S VIEW' we have a magnificent view of Poros, etc.
From our balcony we can see the South-quay of Poros-city,
there's also the quay of Greek Sails located.
Concerning Greek Sails ;
We were positively surprised by this family-run business.
All their yachts are very well kept in chape under own maintenance.
When sailing the Saronic/Argolic, you gain 2 days when starting from
Poros, instead to starting from eg. Kalamaki in Athens.
... when we arrived at Athens-Airport we took the X96-bus to Piraeus
(1 hour drive),
in Piraeus we took the Flying Cat to Poros (ca.70 min).
So it takes ca. 3 hours to arrive in Poros from Athens-Airport
(depending of time of arrival),
there's also a shuttle-service that can be provided by Greek Sails.
So I think Greek Sails have the ideal base when sailing the Argo-Saronic !
NB
TIP for the long-term-sailors,
in Galatas there's a LIDL-supermarket, ca. 1km West out of town on the
road to Methana/Epidavros.
Adio from Poros/Galatas,
