Greece

- The Corinth Canal has reopened to shipping following a closure since October 2025 due to safety works on the embankments.
- The 6.3 km-long waterway, with limestone walls up to 85 m high, connects the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf, shortening the route around the Peloponnese.
- This once again provides cruising sailors with a spectacular and practical route between the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea; the canal has been in existence since 1893.

- Gouvia Marina is expanding its capacity by 104 berths, new dry storage facilities, parking areas and modernised infrastructure at a cost of 8.5 million euros.  
- Digitalisation and comfort are increasing thanks to smart pedestals, better Wi-Fi, new sanitary facilities and improved accessibility and leisure areas.  
- A 100 kWp photovoltaic system covers around 20% of the energy requirements and supports D-Marin's goal of reducing emissions by 42% by 2030.

- Marina Zea in Piraeus brings together yachts from many countries, surrounded by dense development with restaurants, cafés, bars and lively balconies.
- Athens used the bay as a naval base 2,500 years ago; Zea was home to Triremes and served as a gateway to Mediterranean trade routes.
- The fleet that was victorious in the Battle of Salamis operated from here; today Marina Zea is a popular starting and staging harbour in the Saronic Gulf.

- An unexpectedly strong Meltemi with up to nine Beaufort forces the crew to adjust their sailing plans in the Cyclades several times.  
- Instead of the planned destinations, the yacht swerves into the wind-protected Small Cyclades and stays in Naxos and Schinoussa for several days due to the weather.  
- Thanks to a local tip, the return journey to Paros is successful via the shallow but low-wave Steno Antiparou, allowing the crew to return safely to Parikia.
