Ports and Popular Stops
Palea Epidhavros
Click for larger view
Epidhavros (Επίδαυρος) or Palea (Old) Epidhavros [37° 38.3' N 23° 09.5' E] is safe harbor to leave the yacht while going to a performance on the ancient theater of Epidaurus or the Sanctuary of Asklepios. You can take a taxi, 20 min. For a performance make sure you have advanced tickets.
The harbor provides good shelter. You can go stern-to along the quay or anchor off in 5 m. The bottom is mud and weed and provides fairly good holding. Good shopping.
Korfos
Korfos (Κόρφος) or Sofiko [37° 45.5' N 23° 07.7' E] is a pleasant cove in the Saronic Gulf a few miles S of the Corinth Canal. During weekends it is crowded. Anchor off in 6-10 m, holding is not always good. There is a small quay but it is very hard to find room there.
