All good. Our skipper provided us with multiple options each day. We alternated towns and quiet bays each night, to get a nice mix.

I'd love to come back, great anchorages. The marinas are exorbitantly expensive.
Gerne wieder, tolle Ankerbuchten. Die Marinas sind exorbitant teuer.

Very varied with mostly clean water. If you want, you can also find many cultural highlights.

Great area, lots of pretty little towns. Unfortunately, algae (sea snot) are very common, which is harmless but not very inviting for swimming. Next time I wouldn't book a dinghy or an outboard motor.
Tolles Gebiet, viele schöne Städtchen. Leider sehr verbreitete Algen (Meeresrotze), ungefährlich zwar, aber nicht sehr einladend zum Baden. Ich würde nächstes Mal kein Dinghy, keinen Aussenbordmotor buchen.
