We learned a few things about the new Sunsail Lavrion/Olympic/Athens base:
1. They have serious experts on the area doing the chart briefings
2. We found a rental car helpful and we stored our luggage in it.
3. A day in Athens is worth it for the food and scenery
4. The Greeks are good at tourism - you are in good hands always
5. They will manage with English but will appreciate a word or two of Greek
6. There are two sailing areas you can try depending on the winds - down toward the Cyclades or over toward Athens
7. There is a nice, well stocked shop on site
8. GSM (Global Standard) cell phones and data plans work well - CDMA ones not so much on the data side. Essentially all Tavernas had WiFi.
9. There seems to be a bus to the good sized town of Lavrion from the airport via a stop. Also one from the last Metro stop before the airport. But Olympic Marina is a mile or two away from the actual town. The base is 30 minutes from the Athens airport by car/taxi.
10. There is a nice supermarket (My Market) in Lavrion.
