Description
West Aegean is a detailed pilot book published by Imray and written by Rod and Lucinda Heikell. The book covers sailing in the Western Aegean, including the coast of the Greek mainland, the Saronic Gulf, Euboea and adjacent island areas.
The guide provides thorough descriptions of ports, marinas and anchorages, as well as practical information on approaches, depth, weather, winds and local conditions. The area offers great variety – from busy ports near Athens to quieter, less busy anchorages – and the book emphasizes safe navigation and realistic sailing planning.
West Aegean is based on extensive local experience and is designed for active use on board. It is suitable both as a pre-sailing planning tool and as a reliable reference during the voyage, serving as an important complement to official nautical charts and electronic navigation systems.
