Will help for money.

Have been "yacht based" for about 12 years.

Permit to operate off yacht? It's Greece - No.

All in the public domain - got Jeppesen Bottlang?

Got Jeppesen NavData GPS.

Charts are difficult for Greece. With the above and WAC or ONC or TPC you are "legal".

Stay clear of the IFR routes and look out for the military. Lots of joint use CIV/MIL means CIV = Airlines not you.

Watch out for crazy opening and closing times. NOTAM.

Try here for a heads up.

Just like the lingo everything is a bit mysterious in .gr. Find someone who knows the scoop i.e. local operator. Generally pretty helpful.

In and out of LGAV - Elefthérios Venizélos, Athens to you and I, is a little tedious.

FLT PLN required for all flights in Greece. NVFR no.

Handler required nearly everywhere major.

Jet - LGPL - maybe not - go to Kos.
LGPA - probably not.
LGSR - how much do you want - plenty
LGNX - NO

This is where having 10K litres on board is your friend!

Don't expect too much and you will not be disappointed!
