Day
4
Hydra Town (Hydra island -
41 nm)
Hydra is perhaps the most beautiful
port village in whole of Greece. A tiny harbor
ringed with cafes, restaurants and gold shops is
surrounded by a village of stone houses and
villas that rise up the hills like an
amphitheatre. This is another long leg
with the wind on your side. It is better
to approach Hydra from the N cape.
Day
5
Aegina Town (Aegina island -
27 nm)
From Hydra to Aegina is 27 nm
distance. A good idea is to make a
stop-over to swim and lunch at
the fishing village of Perdika.
Approaching to Aegina Town care should be taken
as
shoal water
extends Å from Nisis Metopi across to Aegina
(marked by red buoy).
There are least depths of 8-9m through the
fairway of the channel. Also, care is
needed at the entrance to the harbour as
numerous ferries and hydrofoils use it and they
enter and leave at speed. A good lookout is
needed.
Day
6
Alimos marina (Athens -
18 nm)
The last sailing day you will need to
sail against the usual NW meltemi wind, so you'd
better allow some extra time for this passage.
It is difficult to make out exactly where the
marina is along the built-up coast. Care
must be taken
of the
reef
running SW from Ák Áy Kosmas about 1 mile S of
the Marina -a cardinal tower stands towards the
end of the reef: light Q(9)15s5M.
