Greek Waters Pilot

The Rod and Lucinda Heikell’s pilot is the definitive cruising guide to Greece and its islands. Trusted by generations of sailors, it has become known as the “bible” for navigating one of the world’s most popular and rewarding cruising grounds.

Covering the entire Greek coastline and all of the islands — from the Ionian and Peloponnese to the Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, and northern Aegean — the Greek Waters Pilot combines meticulous detail with first-hand knowledge. Every edition is thoroughly updated, reflecting changes to harbours, marinas, buoyage, and facilities, ensuring safe and confident passage planning.

Inside, you’ll find clear pilotage notes, annotated charts, aerial photos, and harbour plans to guide you into ports and anchorages with ease. Practical information includes depths, holding ground, shelter, and amenities, while cultural and historical notes enrich your cruising experience ashore.

Written by Rod Heikell, the leading authority on Mediterranean cruising, with contributions from Lucinda Heikell, the guide balances technical seamanship with an appreciation for the region’s beauty and traditions. The result is a book that’s as inspirational as it is practical — equally useful at the chart table and while exploring ashore.

Printed in a durable, onboard-friendly format, the Greek Waters Pilot is an essential companion whether you’re chartering for a week, cruising long-term, or sailing your own yacht through Greek waters.
