Day
5 Port
Kioni (Ithaca island - 12 nm)
A pretty traditional seaside village, 24kms
north of Vathi, the islands capital. Kioni is
under protection for its preservation, it is
built in the heart of the inlet on the gentle
green slopes. You should expect high winds (5-7
in Beaufort scale) as soon as you turn the N
Cape of Ithaca island.
Day
6
Vassiliki (Levkas
island - 13 nm)
Vassiliki's port is located
in the south-east of Lefkas, deep in the large
synonymous bay. In the west side of this bay
-close to village Pondi- is a nice anchorage
(4-8 m. depth). The actual port is located in
the east of the bay and is very shallow. Just
stay close to the breakwater. Although the
distance is short (only 13 nm) you will sail
your nose to the wind, so you 'd better be
prepared and allow some extra time to cover the
distance.
Day
7
Spartahori (Meganissi
island - 18 nm)
The bay of Spartohori is at
the N end of Meganissi Is. The town itself lies
at the top of a very steep cliff, but the 15-20
minutes walk is well worth the effort, with a
splendid view and quaint houses either side of
narrow streets. You will sail against the
wind but, as soon as you exit Vassiliki Bay, it
will drop and usually does not exceed 3-4 in
Beaufort scale.
Day
8
Levkas Town (Levkas
island - 12nm)
This is a relaxing day, as you
will motor most of the time and through
Levkas Canal.
Care needed on staying in the middle of the
Canal -DO NOT cross it after the sunset as it is
not properly marked and your grounding is
guaranteed. Moor stern-to on the N quay or
enter in the new Marina.
