60 days in Greece

This is just an update as to our time since arriving in Greece 60 days ago.
We have been in 32 different locations, we went to a marina only once in Pereaus, so we could visit Athens at our leisure without any worries of other boats anchoring too close to us. All the anchorages we found to be spectacular and of very good shelter and most excellent holding in mostly sand and weed in an average depth of 6 meters. 95% of the anchorages we have been alone or with a couple of other boats.
We have been enjoying the historical sites, the local cuisine and the people who are very friendly, always trying to help and always trying to hand you food to make us more welcomed. We have felt very safe in Greece and locking the dingy is not important,  nobody touches anything here.
We are at the moment in beautiful Leros  Island which is one of the Dodecense group of islands. We are only a few short miles from the Turkish coast but no intention to head over there yet.
