Summary: This was our fourth daily charter with Nikos on his lovely yacht. It was, as always, a great day out. We sailed around the lovely island of Proti with various stops. Crystal clear water made for superb snorkelling. Nikos is a superb host and his wife prepared lovely Greek snacks and nibbles for the trip. Nikos bring some lovely Greek wine and beer and it makes for a super day out. We rounded it off with a lovely dinner in Marathopoli.
