Greek mainland, but still island feel. Located at the city dock nearest neighbor is the Arctic Fox. The town is cozy and not spoiled by tourists. Now, a Crusing Permit arranged - Depken and it is a procedure that takes at least two days. Port Authority, the tax must be paid at the tax office of course, sent it around the cash registers. Back to the Port Authority and the work-shy staff. But before then, the insurance policy are rejected, expensive calls to the insurance company, everything is arranged and we now have paper in hand. Captain had a couple of sweaty days so the shower was needed. It is tough with Greek bureaucracy, the final bill was 65euro. It would have followed the words: "Never go to Them.
