On July 2007, me and my family passed the Corinth canal. Our plan was to have our vacation in the beautiful Ionian islands: Ithaca, Lefkas, Paxoi and Corfu.
It is an exciting experience to drive a yacht between two extra high walls (52m.) for about half an hour, since the canal is 6.3 km long (3.9 miles), water depth of 8m (26 feet).
If you intend to pass the Corinth canal, you should turn the VHF on channel 11 and follow the orders of the canal's officer.
The fees for the passage can be calculated here www.corinthcanal.com/fees1.php

The greek islands are the paradise on earth, so next year we will be here again  for the Cyclades islands.

Fortunately Greek islands provide the most safe waters for sailing in the world:

No sharks, no pirates, not any other danger exists there.

In this picture we had a nice swimming time in the area between Mykonos and Syros islands.
We stopped the yacht in order to swim with some dolphins my mom first saw.
But we had no luck, since the dolphins were so busy and "flew" away!
