Description

Gavdos, Italianized as Gozzo (not to be confused with Gozo in Malta) is the southernmost island in Greece and the southernmost point of Europeand the European Union. And that reason alone is worth a visit!
Located 26 nautical miles south of Crete, the island of Gavdos is a good idea for a detour to the “extreme” south, in the Libyan Sea to be precise.

10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide, Gavdos obviously does not have many tourist attractions to offer. Fortunately: the opportunity is there to enjoy its authentic atmosphere, to savor its nature, colors and flavors, to be able to get a glimpse of how people once lived on the island.

There are about a hundred residents in Gavdos, but in reality no more than about 50 can be found in winter. The tune changes in summer, when tourists drive the population to well over 3,000. Nevertheless, you will not have to scramble to make your way around the island. The only café open year-round is in Karave, which, fortunately, is also home to the only port on the entire island, a ferry port (which runs daily service from Crete in summer) that does, however, offer some exploitable space for boaters.

The port is located at the northeast end of the small island and is a very “basic” structure: a pier at the breakwater, a piece of banked shore. At any rate on the inner part of the breakwater there is room to moor sideways, the depth is good, 4 meters or so along the entire length. At the banked shore the depth is considerably shallower and in addition there are always local fishermen’s boats.

The shelter within the small ports is good from all winds except those from the east; in summer the meltemi with a northeast direction also dominates here. Getting to the island of Gavdos and entering the ports does not present particular difficulties.

As for services, there is water and electricity at the dock, and there are also small toilets. You can also find many stray cats and dogs, which, however, are not a safety problem. There is no possibility of refueling. A small supermarket completes the basic offerings at Karave ports.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
