Getting stuff on the Greek Islands

[NorthPacific]

I am trying to get lifepo4 batteries and 2 solar panels delivered to Leros Island Dodecanese in Greece. So far no one will venture further than the mainland. Since I do not have a delivery address on the Mainland this is a problem

Anyone know of a delivery firm on the mainland that will ship to Leros? Or a company that can supply me from Europe on the islands?

Thanks Steve

Have you tried asking the marine stores in Lakki as to how they get parts delivered?

Leros... lovely place. Are you in marina near Lakki or up north near airport?

Hi

No havant asked Marine storest. Back in BC at the moment. Sure they could arrange something, for a price. We are up just to the East of the Airport at Moor and Dock on the hard. That gives us a couple of weeks at their moorage in Lakki, and we really enjoyed Lakki and the Island. Just got our boat last fall and had a great uncrowded cruise around the Dodecanese Islands (6 of them).

Waiting for a company to get back to me about shipping. Mexico is frustrating on a different level, this problem came as a little surprising being a Sailing Mecca.

We'll be back October for 3rd bicycle trip in Dodecanese (we save sailing for here in BC). Stayed 3 nights in Lakki last Fall, biking most of Leros. This coming Fall we'll finally visit Nisyros and Patmos (plus usual start in Rhodes and stay in Mastichari).

Yes I recall the difficulties getting parts shipped in Mexico (free trade? what free trade?) during our 2 seasons there.

Obviously the marine stores in Lakki get things shipped from Athens etc.

Ya four chandeliers 3 owned by the three marinas. One independent in the middle of Lakki

All do a once a year order. The independent is ok the marina ones at ascending levels of eye watering Ed’s

October November were fantastic cruising just us more than not. Spent 17 days on niciros went back twice. We have folding bikes and peddled our brains out. Never got board. The best part was we got treated like locals. Only tourists. That’s why we are staying again.

Due to the shengen rules we will spend the summer in Turkey and Albania before heading back to Greece

Our rule of thumb is if cruise ships dock avoid.
I have a number in Athens to call so will try that late tonight. May have to try and get delivered in Italy we will see.
