Whilst at Avalik we visited the site of ancient Pergamom, near the small city of Bergama. Pergamom was perched on a high mountain top overlooking the surrounding fertile valleys and the attractive city below. From Avalik we crossed to Mytilini on Lesvos to check in to Greece and then sailed on to an anchorage in a land locked bay at Skala Loutrou in the Gulf of Yeras on the south side of Lesvos before berthing at Plomarion on the south coast. There they claim to make the best ouzo in Greece, and we can`t disagree, it is very good. Then on south to the beautiful island of Ouinoussa, the birthplace of some of the richest shipping magnates in the world. The small island is consequently a wealthy place, though it doesn`t see many tourists, as they are not actively encouraged. Across the channel to Kardhamila on Chios island and another attractive town surrounding a small harbour.
