The Gulf of Patras can prove a hellish sail, that’s where this sail was finally retired. When northwesterly winds billow in look for cover. If find yourself in the midst of such a wind and you have time and you want a city over your head, bear away to Patras. If you can take the beat try your luck getting to Ithaca or Cephalonia. <\/p>\n

If not, those who know, usually local fishermen will stay the night under the delta of Achelous<\/a>. The big dipper on a moonless night there is spectacular.<\/p>\n
