DAY 1

Either you aim for an anchorage in the Gulf of Ildir or head straight to the island, Oinousses.

Oinousses is a tiny beautiful island characterised by the impressive stone houses, which help give the island an element of aristocratic finesse.

The Maritime museum of Oinousses is housed within the mansion of the Laimos family. It was founded in 1965 with the intention of presenting the rich naval history of the island, with exhibits including model ships, paintings, nautical instruments, documents and books, all relating to the maritime tradition of the island.

Sitting below the Genoese castle is the waterfront, which has a good selection of shops and restaurants.

Ayvalik is located opposite of Lesbos on the south side of the Edremit Gulf. The archipelago is very beautiful.

Ayvalik - Lesbos

DAY 5

Going back south from Ayvalik to the starting point, Cesme Marina, where it offers good anchorages.

Here you find yourself in this simple but magical site, with the small country chapel of Agios Ermogenis perched on top of a rock anda very romantic path next to the sea. The beach is quite small but still worth a visit.

Have a drink in the little taverna and relax in the peaceful atmosphere.
