Biggi’s Best

Hello from Ali Baba ! Ein wackeliger Holzsteg ohne Wasser und Strom. In der einzigen Taverna gibt es Hausmannskost frisch aus dem Garten und gegrillten Fisch. Wasser-Schildkröten schwimmen gelassen um uns rum. Nix außer glasklares Wasser und Felsen. Diese Bucht ist nur mit Schiffen zu erreichen.

The bottom is sand-weed. The winds blow from the valley behind and send swell in. The water is cool and so clean. You can either accept one of the restaurants’ mooring or anchor off-shore at 8-10 m. The bottom is weed and you should look for a patch of sand to drop the anchor. You can go and pick up laid moorings tailed to the piers. You can moor if you are taking meal at the restaurants.

All the vegetables served with your food are grown in their own organic garden found behind the Ali Baba Restaurant. They also bake their own bread which you can buy to take back to your yacht. Ali Baba is a good place [...]
