Me and my husband, we decided to spend a week sailing around Saronic during June 2008. We are familiar with the area as we have sailed there quite a lot of times, but we could not sail far away this year as we had one passenger more: our 8 months baby! Sailing with a baby was some a decision as we had to carry on board so many things (dippers, milk, cream, fruits etc). He had also to dock in a port every other day for fresh fruits and meat. No mention about looking after the baby all the time. My husband had to sail single handed but we survived! The baby reacted quite well as he was sleeping almost every time we were sailing and crying every time we had to anchor! This was not so bad, as so many people volunteered to help us with the ropes! If you try to sail with a baby remember to take with you a lot of bottled water as you’d better avoid washing all things that the baby is going to use with the water from the tanks.

We sailed from Athens on the 19th of April this year and visited Aigina, Kithnos, Siros, Tinos, Paros, Serifos, Kithnos again and Sounion on our way back to Athens. We had hired a boat through Paralos Sailing and Lefteris gave us a fabulous service. We celebrated the Greek Easter which was both a spectacular and spiritual experience.

This was my second time in the Cyclades and I enjoy that all the islands are so different from each other.

There were six of us onboard and I was the only one who had sailed there before. They all loved it very much and I am sure we will be back again.

The Rion and Andirrion strait, only one mile wide, is the western entrance to the golf of Corinth.
We crossed this strait last year on our way to Lefkas under the suspension cable bridge. We sailed straight on to the center for maximum depth. At this point the height of the bridge is 80-100 meters.
It is suggested to inform the bridge control VHF ch 08 while crossing and watch for the ferries going often from Rion to Antirrion and backwards.
