1st July 2012

It is still very windy and so today we motored just 8 miles around the NW tip of Syros to a large, pretty bay with Finikas on the West side and Posidonia on the East side.

 

We anchored just off the harbour wall and enjoyed a couple of nights here. We had a lovely walk along the coast where there are several small, sandy beaches and we found a butcher, baker and supermarket where we bought ingredients for a meal on board.

 

We also found a local Gyros café, you can’t visit Greece without having a Gyro !

Sliced Pork, salad, tzatziki and chips all wrapped up in a pita.

The wind finally decreased to 15-25 knots and we had another good sail back to Mykonos and into Ormos Bay where we had lunch previously.

A busy little bay where BIG yachts moor in a row either side of the entrance with lines ashore to the rocks.

We had fun checking out owners and charter prices using the Ipad, a cool £300,000 per week for 10 guests on the 120 ft Perini sailing yacht.

 

Lovely restaurants and great provisions ashore in this bay and booming music being carried out on the wind !
