Yerakas - the fjord of the Peloponnese Monemvasia 
Only eight miles separate us from Yerakas. We start from Monemvasia in the afternoon, around 5.30, with an OR of about 10 kt. The navigation is a bit 'uncomfortable because of steep waves rather we take the cross, a sign that the Central Aegean and Meltemi' season in full force. We know that Yerakas is a protected both by the wind waves, but we are unsure of being able to enter, because by the mouth of the harbor pilot's book seems more 'narrow entrance to Fiumara. When Cape Yerakas to reach across, it seems to slip into a funnel which we do not see the end. But, just behind the red light that indicates the head, the landscape changes completely: the waves disappear and the fjord Yerakas appears in full, with the long quay bordered by a few white houses with blue shutters, 3 restaurants and a mini- market. And, more importantly, Yerakas appears without any sign of tourism of mass. " Only 6 sailboats are moored on the pier and a couple of catamarans in the initial part of the lagoon. Happiness moor a bit 'away from the dock to avoid the rocks and go ashore to visit this charming place to eat and just a great bream caught by fishermen premises on the quay in front of our dock. Next to our table, four German and Austrian sailors - imagine that in retirement, having white hair - they tell their experiences of sailing in the Mediterranean.
