our Journey

VOUNAKI

Paleros looked full through the binoculars as we approached and so we pulled in to Vounaki just nearby. The marina is a privately owned base for Sunsail yachts and is very very British.The complex includes the marina, a huge hotel/convention centre, sailing school and boat hire. We spent hours watching the children ranging from 4 to teenagers, learning how to sail 'optis' and little 'lazers' in all sorts of weather.

Most of the days are pretty pleasant here, mornings calm, a little wind in the late afternoon and calm at night. Very hard to take!

We took the dinghy to Paleros for one afternoon and  grabbed a couple of yiros to eat at the local taverna - so much food that it fed us next day for lunch.

Loved the place and will return probably on our way back to Plataria.
