ooh er mrs

I'm thinking that hiring a boat + even a nominal "driver" (a bit like a minicab) is the sort of thing that the fishermen, etc, would take to a lot more easily than seeing someone setting of in *their* boat without any supervision.
It would also be a way to get a lot more local knowledge.

I rather wonder whether you might be best looking for, and asking after, an expat-run water-borne operation... (less emotional attatchment to the boat).

Don't expect the Aegean to be completely flat come September. It gets very breezy.
