Navpaktos, Greece
Navpaktos (also known as Lepanto), with its small medieval harbor, extended fortifications, and Venetian castle overlooking the town is a must see.
However there is space for perhaps only two or three visiting yachts of diminutive dimensions.
Everything was reasonably priced and close at hand, (provisions, fuel, entertainment), so we made the most of it.
This was definitely one of our favorite ports.
Day 10
Methoni
A pleasant sail to Methoni just 35NM away. Well before sunset I was anchoring among the fishing vessels below the walls of an ancient Venetian fort. Heikell states in his guide that this is one of his favourite stops in the Peloponnese.I can see why.
Inflating my Kayak tender I paddled to the nearby beach and explored the town. In high season I am told it is a hive of activity but by November it was winding down and I had the charming tavernas almost to myself.
