We liked this way above our expectations. Don’t go near the restaurants along the seafront – over-priced and under-quality. We ate very very well at O-live, although being on the main road is a bit of a drawback. Yes the harbour is a bit rolly if the wind is from the NE – all too likely.

Feedback 12 October from SY Funny Girl:

Gythion

Although they are working to extend the big easterly breakwater, there is still some place for yachts. We used our anchor to moor but the bottom is fouled with all kinds of chain, old anchors, old mooring ropes etc.

We found that out when leaving the harbor. The Port Police are really looking at who is arriving and departing. They checked our new DEKPA. We had to pay the standard Greek price 8,16 € for a 14-meter yacht.

Payment has to be done in the town hall on the first floor. There they speak English. On the ground floor – where we started to ask – they only speak Greek.

So with lots of arm, hands and legs waving and pictures of our boat, we were directed to the first floor!! This is a good place to visit Sparta and the ancient city of Mystra, well worth a visit.
