despotiko


after ios, we moved north to despotiko because the wind was not allowing us to go south to milos; where we originally intended to depart from Greece. the winds in greece did not agree much with our route. they basically blew from all directions but always against us. but I guess this is normal, or at least we think so because every time we talk to other people sailing, everyone always tells the same stories of having the wind on their noses. … so this time we tried to sail with no specific island in mind and simply went out to sea with different options in different directions and of course headed towards the one we could sail to. and we were glad we went north and found this place. with flat shallow water, islands all around, some mountains, some caves.. and just a little of everything but mostly not very crowded. it was the perfect place to slow down after ios. we had the luck of full moon in this magnificent anchorage. What a place. it reminded us of how lucky we were to sail around greece and around the world of course!
