Most of the ports and islands of Greece now have data. However the data on the following places is rather thin:

Faliro

Glyfadha Marinas 1,2, & 3

Igoumenitsa

Kalamata Marina

Kavala

Lavrio Harbor

Marina Voulas

Marina Vouliagmenis

Mesolongi

Mikrolimano

Patras

Preveza

Thessaloniki

Zea Martina

Any members of Gruiser Log that have sailed to any of these places please add your information, it is not hard and if you need any help please contact me. Also, if you know of any other cruisers who have sailed there please do ask them to contribute. This wiki is for all of us and it will be only as good as we all make it.

The Greece Cruising Guide is now a VERY useful resource.

However, please add whatever information that you can and keep it up to date.

Hello,

I have a question. I have bought a Grabner Happy Cat Racing Inflatable Catamaran and I intend to sail it in Thassos Island. The boat is 4.3m long and powered only by wind.

I came from Romania, where no permit in required in order to sail coastal this kind of boat (under 7m).

Can anyone tell me if I need any kind of permit to coastal sail my boat in Thassos? I do not intend to go far, but very close to the shore as I am sailing with my family for fun.

I posted the same question in another topic (thassos) just in order to obtain a quick answer.

Thank you,

Ionut Stan

Sorry I did not see your question before Ionut Stan.

I do not believe you need any special permit for an inflatable small boat.

Thank you for your answer. I was already in Thassos in July and it was very nice with the sailboat. The winds were moderate, the water warm and clear, very nice. Good sailing.

Nobody asked me for any permit and I was pretty far from the shore (~ 6 marine miles away).

Thank you,

Ionut
