The trip is uneventful and almost dejavu except the temp is 11 degrees and wind chill factor of freezing. I'm soooo cold I'm wrapped up in multiple layers and a blanket. I'm doing a cupcake but trying to suck it up. Being sick doesn't help matters.
The sailing season starts in May so I'm not sure what to find open in Gaios. On the way we stick our head into Lakka Bay but everything there is closed up. The water is an amazing turquoise colour so worth the visit.
We arrive in Gaios just after 3pm and find a great place to come along side the jetty right on the main square. Barry from the yacht behind us gives us a hand and we meet his wife Linda as well. They are regulars to the Ionians from the UK.
We quickly find a local bar that has a TV and the bar lady is very obliging to find us the F1. I'm having a few scotchies to warm me up and that works a treat. Although Gaios is a fairly big town, there is still not a lot open. We decide too eat at one of the tavernas on the square and the food is pretty average but fills us up.
A few red wines later we retire for a good nights sleep.
