Sun Odyssey 409

Automatically translated. View original

Timely welcome upon arrival of the ferry from Piraeus. We even got the boat a little early.
Very punctual also on the return to Paros.

Boat in good overall condition, clean, complete inventory.
One small addition that is missing: a view of the electronic chart outside, which makes life easier for the navigator.

Poros is very small: no difficulty in finding, provisioning, or dining. We would have just liked a van ride to bring the provisions on board.
One difficulty: payments cannot be made by check, and the amounts are too large to be in cash (at least for the French, the Germans probably don't have this issue), so you have to leave your credit card details, which is not very "secure".

After Poros and Hydra, we sailed through the Cyclades: Kithnos, Syros, Delos not to be missed under any circumstances, Sifnos, Ios - superb -, small Cyclades - take the time to visit the interior of Skinoussa - and Naxos - the Orthodox churches, the temple of Demeter....
Due to weather conditions - meltemi "early" in mid-June - ferry trip to Santorini - a must for those who haven't been.
Fourth cruise in Greek waters: we never get tired of it. And plan for 48 hours in Athens on departure or return: the drawbacks of this rather dirty and polluted city are nothing compared to the beauty of what there is to see (not to mention all the rest of Greece).
