We Survived 11 Days of Meltemi Winds in Milos, Greece… Then Sailed Into a Military Firing Zone 🇬🇷

Ep. 206 ~ After surviving 11 straight days of powerful Meltemi winds while anchored in beautiful Milos, Greece, we finally decide to leave the Cyclades and sail back across the Aegean to Monemvasia.

What started as a peaceful Greek island sailing adventure quickly turned into stress-filled anchoring, crowded bays, close-call neighbors, military firing zones and nonstop weather routing decisions. Along the way, we explore stunning Milos, experience life aboard our liveaboard catamaran during strong winds, encounter dolphins and navigate one of the most famous sailing regions in the Mediterranean.

If you dream about sailing Greece, living aboard, retiring to travel or exploring Europe by boat, this episode is packed with real cruising life, beautiful scenery and the challenges of sailing the Greek islands during Meltemi season.
