West Aegean

Rod and Lucinda Heikell’s West Aegean covers the coasts and islands near Athens, the adjacent islands of the Cyclades and the eastern Peloponnisos to Monemvasia. It also covers the mainland coast from Sounion to Volos, the adjacent coast of Evia, and the Northern Sporades, including Skíathos and Skópelos.

It is a companion to Greek Waters Pilot and gives detail on places that book mentions only briefly. It is particularly useful for charterers, flotilla sailors and others based in the area, with information on getting around, places to visit ashore, and background ranging from food and wine to Greece’s classical past and ancient sites.

The pilotage notes are supported by plans and photographs, many of them taken by Lu Heikell.
