We have never visited Port Atheni before. We didn't want to go on the quay, which we understand is new this season, but it took a couple of tried to find the right spot to drop the anchor. And then we stayed, enjoying the quiet, the beautiful scenery, the intimacy of the bay. It was good.

From early afternoon the quay fills up with flotilla boats, the flotilla leaders very competent, guiding the novice sailors safely into their berths. Then, in the evening, they all go off to the local tevarna, a good dinner, a very little Greek dancing and then the disco.
