Enroute to Crete

Tilos has always been a poor cousin to other islands. Little frequented by cruisers, most yachts just passing it by. However, it falls on the rhumb line from Symi and only 24 miles away.

Leaving Symi this morning, we took a shortcut through a pass to eliminate many miles around the north end of the island. Although the average depths in the Med are 5,000 ft, with the deepest at 17,000, we squeaked through the Nimos Passage seeing depths as shallow as 11 ft.

Our mooring for tonight in Tilos is in the island's bay of Livadhi. Inside the harbor, we were lucky to be ahead of 8 other yachts and snagged then next-to-last place alongside of the breakwater. Ashore is a likeable village center with many local choices for dining.
