Despite its age yacht is fitted well for cruising with relatively new sails and sails well even in high seas. Reefing is easy but as usual with the boat that age there are quirky issues you will discover in time... further on navigation instruments are a bit temperamental: magnetic compass was showing anything but north, wind speed indicator showed different readings for port and starboard in the same wind conditions, depth gauge was reliable though... there was tablet with navionics plotter onboard so it helped finding the way!
Marina Kallithea has no functioning showers or toilets, which is simply not acceptable. Marina is in the remote place with no easy access to shops or restaurants. Boat berth was inaccessible - climbing over 2m high fence was required to get to the berth. We were told to arrive at marina Alimos for checkout and then were transported by car to Kallithea. On departure no assistance was offered to get us to tram or taxi rank I had to beg the agent rep to give me a lift to a nearest taxi. Sailing was great but agent services and berth location spoils the fun completely.
