Sailing Greece: Stern-Tying to the Rocks | Meganisi & Lefkada, Ionian Islands 🇬🇷
Ep. 214 ~ This week we're sailing through some of our favorite cruising grounds in the Ionian Islands of Greece! After crossing the Lefkada Canal, we head to the beautiful island of Meganisi, where we show exactly how we stern-tie our catamaran to the rocks—a technique you'll see throughout western Greece.
If you're planning to charter a sailboat in the Ionian Islands, we'll also show how we safely stern-tie to the rocks—one of the most common mooring techniques you'll encounter in western Greece.
Along the way, we watch some entertaining docking attempts, teach Rosie a new skill, cool off in crystal-clear water, share a clever DIY boat hack and visit the charming waterfront town of Vathy before sailing on to Vlicho Bay, one of the most practical anchorages in the Ionian.
Whether you're planning a sailing holiday in Greece, dreaming of living aboard a sailboat or looking for retirement travel inspiration, we hope you'll enjoy coming along for another adventure.
If you've sailed the Ionian, tell us your favorite anchorage in the comments!
