10-Oct-15   Greece, Corfu
The wind at Kerkyra Airport is 150/22-32. The yachts in the CYC harbour look most uncomfortable but those in the tucked in behind the breakwater east of the Old Port are beautifully sheltered. See photo.

Leros Island
Evros Marina (at the far eastern end of Lakki bay, and also calls itself "Leros Marina" to ensure confusion with the town marina in Lakki!) is now a fully operating major marina with about 160 berths, three travel lifts and lots of hard standing. It seems well organised, has a restaurant, chandlery (with Calor gas but no Camping Gaz, for which you have to go to a supermarket by the taxi station in the town, and they don 't always have it). Washing m/c very expensive at €8 a load.
240 days ashore, including lift and launch, cost €2370 for 39 ' boat in 2015/16
Petrino, by the post office, is generally said to be the best restaurant in town.
Levitha
All confirmed in 2015, but even the moorings leave room to anchor I wouldn 't attempt it - the bottom is smooth rock with thin sand covering. For disabled, a lift to and from the farm in the trailer behind a tractor may be available.
Astipalia
Harbour mole now rebuilt. No lazy lines - use anchor. No loos or showers but excellent Mastani restaurant has showers (€5). No camping Gaz but ask around and you may be able to get existing bottle refilled. Chora and castle is a must. Barbarossa restaurant by the town hall in the chora was good.
Kamares
Anchorage s of the harbour is excellent - well sheltered and good holding.
Kalymnos town
Major changes and a vast improvement. There are now about 100 visitors berths on a new quay along the seafront (the west end seems to be mostly local boars). Electric boxes are 50m apart so pick your slot carefully. Energetic fellows in yellow jackets greet you. The old berths in the harbour are still used but local boats and v crowded.
No sign whatever of the new marina and it probably will never be.
Kalymnos Vathi
Despite HGW warning, most boats go stern to but NOT between end of pier and the first lamppost where there are serious obstructions close to the pier. No sign of HGW 's "proposed pontoons". Filthy loos on the quay. Area E of pierhead is closed by buoys for swimmers. Several small "supermarkets" in the village.
Palionisou
There are now about 12 good moorings and the two restaurants are active. Nice place.

2-Nov-15   IONIAN - Filiatros Bay - east coast Ithaca
Nice sandy bay with beach bar in S arm. Good shelter from South through West to North. Open NE. In June it was possible to anchor quite close to the beach in the S. arm of the bay. When we returned in Sept. the S. arm had been buoyed off. We anchored in the North arm. Some wash from passing ferries entered the bay but not very frequently. Two other yachts had taken lines ashore so they lay bows to any wash but probably not necessary. Although shown in Heikel no detail is given of this rather nice sandy bay.

16-Dec-15   Greece: Corfu Yacht Club, Mandraki
Arrived Mandraki harbour to visit the old town. Corfu Yacht Club very hospitable and offered berth during the winter at €250pcm. They have been very helpful in obtaining services (domestic batteries, canvas work, fridge etc) and the boatman is checking Gem daily for €50pcm.
Romantic position in the old Venetian fort with easy access to the old town.
So far seems a great alternative to Gouvia Marina.
