Round trip Poros-Messolonghi

About Messolonghi

Modern Greece has its origins in Messolonghi. That's what makes this place interesting. A long sea channel with small jetties where local fishermen live, reminds us of Vietnamese scenes. If you sail into that channel, you will find a neat harbor with good facilities.

History: The inhabitants of Messolonghi were massacred by the Turks in 1826, and eventually under European pressure the Turks had to leave Greece two years later in 1828.

Lord Byron was a prominent figure in the history of Messolonghi. He was an English Romantic poet and writer from England. His life was full of aristocratic excesses, he had numerous love affairs and huge debts. Byron wanted to join the fight with the Greeks, but perished before the first skirmishes had begun. His house is now a museum in Messolonghi.

About the trip

The trip consists of 4 legs and has a total length of 80 nautical miles.

Electrical outboard

We hate those two or four stroke petrol outboard engines. They are loud, they smell, they are heavy. That's why we have chosen for  an electrical outboard for our dinghy.
