The Alkionidhes Islands, also called ‘Kalanisa’, is a group of four islands located in the northeastern part of the Gulf of Corinth. The islands are of immense natural beauty with only a few buildings.
The CAptain’s Mate overview describes the islands as offering a ‘beautiful anchorage’ and ‘a great place to escape the crowds in August’. CA member Elizabeth Thorp recently visited the south bay on the western side of the island known as Zoodhokos and in her CAptain’s Mate report noted:
On Thursday 21 September 2023, the Southampton International Boat Show will celebrate 'Women in Marine Day' by shining a light on many of the remarkable achievements and successes by women.
