I’m actually wintering my HR48 in the Setur Marina Mytilini despite the huge humanitarian problems with the refugees which is impossible not to feel…but the Marina is very good and cheap + you can stop to any other Setur Marina in Turkey for free if you set up for a year-long stay. Don’t forget to refer to mr. Stratos of the chandler shop for any need: not only he is very kind and honest, but he will solve any problem you may have. The city with its castle is very nice like the rest of the island. Good place to start to go to Istanbul and the Black Sea..

Dear customers,
We would like to inform you on the recent developments regarding the Hellenic Cruising Tax (TEPAI).
Firstly, as of today the implementation of the Cruising Tax has been postponed till Thursday the 9th of May 2019. You will find attached the informative brochures published by the Authorities regarding the details and implementation of the tax along with methods of payment and a list of frequently asked questions which are quite helpful. Other than the postponement nothing else has changed regarding the details of the tax.
Furthermore, we are happy to inform you that in cooperation with the Mytilini Coast Guard HQ our Marina will provide a certificate which will confirm that your boat is indeed stationary (not sailing) and anchored in our Marina and therefore will be exempt from the tax for the relevant months. After your arrival of course and once you commence sailing you will be obliged to pay the tax for the respective month.

Reported by Stan of Yacht Circe:
I discovered Petra on Lesbos in Greece is a Port of Entry since last year.
It is used by a number of Turkish day tripping boats as well as yachts.
It is clean and better scaled to yachts than Mytilini.
The Port Police and Customs are very friendly and even shared their grapes with us on arrival.
We had to go a few miles north to Mithymna (Molyvos) to get the DEKPA and finish the entry procedure. I don’t know if this is the regular procedure or if it is because the Petra police were busy with a refugee boat and the Mithymna police had more bandwidth.
Either way, the police were attentive and friendly. They would come to our table at the taverna if they needed anything else or had any questions.
All told, it was about the most relaxed entry formalities we’ve ever experienced…

Further update from MY LeeZe in Mytillini, Greece – 11 September, 2015:
In the last 48 hours, there has been a major change to the crisis.
Nearly ALL of the refugees that were here are now gone.
The tent cities in the parks and open areas are gone. People searching for water and a place to charge their cell phones are gone. The police came yesterday and forced those still residing in the parks and open areas to take their tents down and move to the port.
The number of people waiting at the port is low, really low as of last night, when I dropped a guest off.
The locals have reclaimed their city, were walking about last night, and were smiling.
From talking with them, and a policeman, it seems the government has changed their process.
Refugees are still coming. But when they get here, they are recorded and for 50 €, they are provided a trip to the Port of Athens, where they are registered. Neither knew what was done with the refugees that did not have the money to by a ticket.
This morning, when I got up, the city was clean, and tent free. The mounds of trash are gone. Last night, the refugees that came in from the north had their “care” package in hand, their stipend, and instructions to report to the port for processing and passage to Athens (per the policeman) today.
So, unless their is a huge influx of refugees, the problem on this island is now very much under control.
But, checkin here is still a major PITA. Last night, the Customs dock was full with two cruise ships (taking away that last of the refugees), 3 ferries from Turkey, and a Greek island hopping ferry (which is now selling tickets to refugees to take them to Athens).
Therefore, two incoming boats were tied along the wall waiting to be called back to Customs to check in. One was called at 2115, the other 2245. The Customs people refuse to allow those that do their own checkin to come to the city wall and walk over to them.
Update from MY LeeZe in Mytillini:
The refugee crisis here is EXPLODING!
The news is reporting that there are 15000 on the island, charter cruise ships can take off about 2000 per ship per run, 3-4000 arriving daily, no end in sight.
They sleep anywhere they can, mostly in parks, sidewalks, beaches, and the port. They are constantly searching for water, a place to charge their cell phones, and a place to sleep.
They are nearly to a fault polite, respectful, and happy that they made it this far, but frustrated with the pace it is taking to get off the island and get to Athens.
When they get off the bus (if they landed in the north) or get off the patrol boat that picked them up, their first action is generally to take a selfie. That is how happy they are to get here.
Nearly all we have spoken with want to get to Germany. They have money so they are not begging.
For cruisers planning on coming here, water and electrical services along the city wall are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get. The marina to the south of the harbor is available.
The amount of litter in the harbor is astounding.
The government here is trying but it is simply overwhelmed.
So, for boats that need to check into Greece, for now I suggest Chios before here.
One can check in here but plan on not staying long and going somewhere else (Molivous maybe?).
We are here awaiting guests, and plan to move on this Sunday.
This is a human disaster unfolding before our eyes of immense proportions.
