The charming capital of Gaios is a true gem, offering breathtaking anchorages set against vivid blue waters. Your lead crew will secure a spot for you on the lively local quay in the town, where you'll drop anchor and moor stern-to for the evening.

Experience the excitement of Greek dancing, often performed on a fire-lit floor with swords. Approach the harbor from either the north or south of Ay Nikolaos, making sure to check the depths, as it's shallow to the south.

Day 5

For a unique experience, consider visiting Fanari Bay south of Parga, where you can anchor and enjoy the freedom of swinging. The bay is located at the end of the Acheron River, known as the entrance to Hades and the River of Styx, and offers boat trips up the river. For those seeking adventure, there are also kayaking trips available. Fanari Bay is a peaceful local area with restaurants serving freshly caught fish. Another option is Mongonnissi in Paxos, located south of the island, offering both docking options and the opportunity to anchor freely. The only amenities in the bay are a charming taverna run by Pan and Theo on the water's edge, making it a quiet or lively experience depending on the day.

Day 6

Parga or Mongonissi
On Friday, visit Parga, famous for its castle towering over the town. The castle, believed to have Venetian roots, has been mentioned as early as 1337 and is known for its formidable fortifications. The town is divided by the castle, with boats mooring in the bay of Valtou to the north. Be sure to have adequate water supplies, as there may not be any facilities available in the evening, including free anchoring or mooring bow-to the beach. Parga is a beautiful location surrounded by pine trees, accessible by walking over the hill past the castle or taking a dinghy or a lively kayiki ferry. After a day away from the flotilla, the lead crew will organize a group meal at a local taverna. The town offers great shopping, particularly for local leather and lace products.
