Patras - Docking
Visitors should make for the yacht harbour, north of the harbour, where the old caique basin has been converted into a marina. Berth where directed but beware of the shallows close to the quay.
The visitors’ pontoon is subject to some swell. The minimum charge is for two nights (regardless of whether you stay one night or two) with discounts for longer stays. Water, electricity and shower facilities are included in the charge.
There is reported to be a chandlery next to the visitor’s dock.
Alternatively, if may be possible to moor stern-to or alongside on the northern side of the central mole (opposite the castle). Shelter is good but the wash from the constant movement of tugs and other workboats does cause a lot of surges. The holding is good.
This is a large town so there is plenty of choice and provisioning is easy.

The fee is now 58 euro for two nights. There is no single night fee, it’s represented as 58 for one night and second night is free! Fairly well managed, Shown a slot on arrival, most pwr and water sockets working.
Slightly noisy from the local bars, but no rowdy behavior. Good Chandler right next to the visitors dock. Local help good (call Alex on 00306943904803 to make things happen.
But he’ll charge an ‘agency fee’), parts ordered from Athens (we got a complete saltwater cooling pump). Good shopping in large town (4 euro taxi ride).

Very helpful harbourmaster (paid by the city as the harbour is also from the city). 12m yacht has to pay 32€ for 2 nights and after 6 nights you get a 55% discount. I do not know how they calculate it, but after 7 nights I paid 97,50€ including good water and 16 amps electricity. Interesting city.
I like trains and there is a special rack and pinion train from the coastal city of Diakopto to Kalafryta, 750 meters high in the mountains. See http://www.trainose.gr/en/thematikatrena/kalavryta.
You go by bus from the TRAIN station (NOT the BUS station) and its 1 hour from Patras to Diakopto, the 10:00 bus connects in time with the 11:15 Train and stops 5 metres from the train station.
All very comfortable. We did the trip and found it amazing.
In Kalafryta there is a World War 2 museum.
