Greek Waters Pilot (13th edition)

Rod and Lucinda Heikell

Imray

£42.50

The Heikells’ work is never done. This volume alone covers 7,000 miles of indented coastline with a wealth of natural anchorages and harbours. Yacht numbers are increasing, new marinas are being built, ports privatised and facilities improved. Nevertheless there are still ‘places in this sailors’ paradise that are mostly overlooked by sea-borne visitors’ – and Heikell has decades of experience to guide us there. This year’s revision focusses on the Ionian, the Saronic and the less frequented but intriguing coast of Northern Greece (Thessaloniki to Samothrace) where we are promised ‘some of the grandest scenery and finest sandy beaches’. Greek Waters is a splendid volume but, even by pilot book standards it’s weighty. There will be a pdf version.
