Greek Cruising 2009-2022
I
arrived
in
Corfu,
Greece
in
2009
having
crossed
the
southern
Adriatic
Sea
from
Italy.
My
cruising
has
mainly
been
in
the
Aegean
Sea,
only
spending
a
short
period
in
the
Ionian
to
the
west
of
the
Greek
mainland
before
heading
south
around
the
Pelopponeese
mainland
to
the
east
of
the
country.
Greece
is
an
almost
perfect
cruising
area,
with
reasonable
daytime
winds,
an
abundance
of
safe
anchorages,
thousands
of
islands
to
visit
and
a
remarkably
friendly
and
mild
mannered
people.
On
average
Greece
is
the
least
expensive
of
the
Mediterranean
areas
I
have
experienced
during
my
years
of
cruising
here.
Since
arriving
in
Greece
I
have
wintered
Tradewinds
once
in
Porto
Heli
(not
recommended)
and
several
times in Kilada (highly recommended).
During
my
years
cruising
Greece
I
have
visited
a
vast
number
of
coastal
locations
and
islands
of
the
Cyclades and Eastern Sporades. I still have much more to explore in this wonderful cruising country.
Enjoy

section
of
my
website,
read
the
ship’s
logs
and
check
out
the
itineraries

and

galleries.

Tradewinds
was
put
on
the
market
for
sale
at
the
beginning
of
September
2025,
thus
bringing
to
a
conclusion
the
great
adventure
that
had
atarted
21
years
before
when
she
crossed
the
English
Channel
and headed for the Mediterranean.

to
see
the
statistics,
the
number
of
nautical
miles
covered
each
year
and
the
amount
of
fuel
used.
The
numbers
are
staggering!
The
circumference
of
the
world
on
the
equator
is
approximately
21,600 Nautical Miles, and Tradewinds covered more, 25,728 over the 21 years in the Mediterranean.
