Is there anyone that know of a safe habor where you can leave your yacht unattended for 30days or a place where we can go on the hard?
Thanks and kind regards

Pylos "marina" - a concrete skeleton with no formal facilities, and no charge. Afloat alongside, or end on to a quay if there's a vacant
mooring. Nick's
diving shop on road above marina helpful, usually able to keep an eye on the
boat for a reasonable fee. Crane to leave ashore is possible if you can track down the crane operator! Lovely small town, 2,000 population, buses to Kalamata and Athens.
Kalamata full service marina - ashore or afloat. Some surge in southerlies, so best on quays A-D if you're leaving the
boat awhile. Busy agricultural support town, wide engineering facilites, 50,000 population. Chandler run by reliable
marine engineer (Yanni Varkas).
Connections. Buses from both locations to Athens
airport (4:30 - 5:00 hr) one easy change in Athens). Seasonal local
airport Kalamata (Apr - Oct) with flights to several N
Europe cities 3 days a week.
Lots more detail on the
W Peloponnese and
S Peloponnese pages of my web site (google "jimbsail" !)
