We're on a mission now to get to our final destination for this season - Koiladhia - where Stiletto will be spending the winter.
So having left Kithera, our next stop would be Nisos Elafónisos. We were last here in August 2019 when we met up with friends Kim and Jonathan and Beryl and Nigel who we had wintered with in Sicily.
We dropped anchor, in almost exactly the same spot in Ormos Sarakiniko but had quite an uncomfortable night due to the swell that came into the bay causing us to rock and roll.
It is without doubt a beautiful anchorage and the best bit was that we had it to ourselves!!!
