LEFKAS

Hoping to have a more positive experience, we set out for Lefkas in mid morning. The sail was pleasant enough for the first half, however once we approached the Lefkas channel the sea became very uncomfortable. No waves, just massive swell. Once inside the channel the roll stopped and we approached the opening bridge. Apparently this is quite a feat, to arrive at the right time and get through the channel without running aground. All was well and we berthed in a rather luxurious spot.

Entering the Lefkas channel

The marina was fairly new and beautifully appointed with hot and cold running everything. We felt a little special being only the third boat under 100s under 45 feet!!

Cafes were excellent and the city nearby provided everything we needed. The town has character and plenty of places to explore with still many little shops run by locals desperate for a sale. The town shows clear evidence of an economic downturn.

Nevertheless we really enjoyed seeing the business of life in a Greek town.
