Sailing through the Corinth Canal to explore the Saronic islands was a breezy blast for Heather Prentice and family I took the call 24 hours before we were due to fly Alex kindly asked me if she could help stock the boat We were scheduled to join our Seafarer yacht in Kiato after midnight and to sail first thing in the morning Alex sent a link to a local Greek supermarket I tapped a few items on my phone – the Greek alphabet blurring my choices The goods would be delivered to the boat and stowed for the trip We boarded the Bavaria 37 Stairway to Heaven Christian and myself – hone our sailing skills as a family while exploring a more challenging sailing area rich in classical history heading through the Corinth Canal for the sheltered bay at the village of Korfos on the western side of the Saronic Gulf the wind whipped up to around Force 6 – a lot of white water for a first day helmed by South Africans Keenan and Nathan led the small fleet through the four miles of the Corinth Canal this was the first time and it was spectacular – azure water the colour of the sky towering cliffs and road and railway bridges high above us Someone was playing music on one of the bridges The awe-inspiring 250ft sandstone cliffs also carry the distinctive marks of ancient chiselling dating from Nero’s first attempt to dig the canal in 67 AD The transit at a measured 6 knots took around 45 minutes The wind was still strong so we sailed with a reefed main and had some fun dodging between the cargo ships anchored in a holding pattern at the top of the Saronic Gulf the wind abated and we switched on the engine We were determined to sail as much as possible preferring the tranquility and the beautiful views to the quayside The first thing we did was to go swimming off the boat Siena and Christian loved jumping off the stern platform gliding silently through the water powered by the electric outboard Nathan and Keenan and our fellow crews from around the UK for welcome drinks accompanied by delicious local cheeses and snacks The charming proprietor of our chosen taverna decided our choice of food was not correct: instead he brought out a Greek salad followed by two seafood platters with calamari It was interesting as my order choices meant we had ice cream almond butter and a few other oddities to choose from as well as the bread and homemade jam in the welcome pack from Seafarer The family sailing through the Corinth Canal – Heather passing the sunken city which lies two metres under the sea Archaeologists reported the ruins are the remains of a Roman villa dating from the second century There was no wind today and the water was glassy calm we saw tuna fish leaping out of the water – a welcome surprise We arrived in Old Epidavros in time for a shaded lunch aboard For Christian and Siena this would be the first time safety procedures and learning the hand signals for octopus and lionfish instructor Vicky took Siena and Christian by the hand and led them gradually down to the sea bed below but we ended up going eight metres down on our first dive octopus and ancient stone vases and some Roman pottery,’ Christian added The first night on an unfamiliar boat can be a bit restless You listen to the creaks and groans of… had been stranded in the Dominican Republic for two months I had been sailing from Martinique… to visit the nearby Sanctuary of Asklepios The Sanctuary was the most important therapeutic centre of the ancient world and saw the transition from belief in divine healing to the science of medicine The archaeological site includes the temples of Artemis and Asklepios built in the 4th century BC and still used for concerts What was interesting was the combination of both physical and spiritual healing to treat illness The view from the Temple of Aphaia towards the bay of Aegina Marina on the island of Aegina We stopped for lunch and swam in the shelter of the island of Agistri chic port with regular ferries arriving from Athens We explored the shops and ice cream parlours in the ancient narrow streets before stopping to dine on more fresh seafood Next day was a short hop round the north end of Aegina to the quiet harbour of Aegina Marina The harbour was beautiful with a natural swimming pool just behind the boats We later went for a dinner overlooking the harbour and a quiet drink in the evening in the nearby cafe we walked up the hill to visit the Temple of Aphaia The Doric temple is well preserved and is situated on a spectacular location easily visible historically to ships passing on the trade route between Athens and the Peloponnese Leaving the western end of the Corinth Canal and heading back towards Kiato had taken to sea to escape the pursuit of King Minos of Crete when she was rescued by fishermen and taken to Aegina who helped her escape by vanishing – the name Aphaia meaning invisible Aphaia was revered as a hunting goddess who protects shipping – Aegina was an important centre of trade in the region As we were immersed in the history and stunning views the smartphones of all nearby visitors suddenly bleeped loudly This was an alert from the Greek government about an imminent storm The local sailors take these warnings seriously As we were due back in Kiato the next day and had a long sail to get there we decided to leave promptly ahead of the bad weather We cast off slightly nervously as other boats were coming into harbour it was only a three-hour sail to our next anchorage at Kanakia but then we saw the dark clouds gathering on the horizon The family go scuba diving at Old Epidavros This was the first time for Christian and Siena We switched on the engine so we were beam reaching at a spirited 8 knots It then became a bit of a race against the weather we could hear the thunder and see the dark shadow of wind in the distance Siena and Christian counted the seconds between the thunder and lightning – according to them the storm passed around 2km to our west In the morning we set off with the sunrise and had breakfast en route We were through the Corinth Canal late morning and shortly afterwards back at Kiato colourful odyssey that certainly helped us improve our skills together as a family We would love to return and explore other islands in this stunning A subscription to Yachting Monthly magazine costs around 40% less than

From the maker of our function ga4_link100() { window.dataLayer.push(JSON.parse('{"event":"click_inarticle","link_location":"product_widget"}')) }favorite steam iron this steam mop can be removed from its cradle to be used as a handheld steam cleaner the PurSteam’s mop head swivels for easier cleaning around furniture so you can reach messes whether you’re in mop mode or using it as a handheld steam cleaner Its tank is smaller than other cleaners we evaluated but it still runs for about 20 to 25 minutes at a time which has 30,000-plus 5-star Amazon ratings chemical-free cleaner at an attractive price point Users love the grout tool to deep clean tile grout The Wagner Spraytech 905e steam cleaner is specifically designed to clean automobiles with attachments that will help you keep your vehicle like-new without harsh chemicals which is designed to reach tight spaces in between car seats and the nylon brushes for cup holders and door pockets and wire brushes that can be used under the hood The angled jet nozzle will blast away grime from your hubcaps—and it’s also great for bathroom fixtures and other hard-to-reach areas The 905e also comes with a microfiber bonnet that attaches to a steamer attachment you’ll love how this dynamic duo cleans car seats and seatbelts With the squeegee that attaches to the steamer you’ll be able to easily wipe away bugs from windshields and soap scum from shower doors because the steam can cause it to crack if the glass is too cold.) This Wagner steam cleaner’s 40-ounce tank delivers up to 45 minutes per cleaning session Wagner says the unit should never be stored with water in the tank One other drawback is the length of the power cord the 6-foot power cord limits this steam cleaner’s portability but a longer power cord would be an improvement the 905e is an eminently affordable steam cleaner that’s a big hit with online shoppers It has everything you need to keep your vehicle’s interior clean and reviewers say it’s great for detailing cars users have reported ruptures or broken attachments The Dupray Neat steam cleaner has a 54-ounce water tank and delivers up to 50 minutes of continuous steam which makes it a superb choice for detailing tile and grout Like other steam cleaners we have evaluated the Dupray Neat comes with many attachments the Dupray also has a triangular tool that will help you clean corners Another thing that we love is that you can use regular towels and cloths with the mop head in addition to the included microfiber pads and cloth While it’s recommended that you use distilled water to extend the life of this steam cleaner It also has two 3-foot extension tubes and a long steam hose to help clean hard-to-reach areas It comes with a two-year limited warranty and lifetime guarantee on the boiler so you can rest assured that the company stands behind this steam cleaner with more than 20,000 ratings—it seems like people who have bought it agree There are three types of steam cleaners—canister-style cleaners Canister steam cleaners are bigger than handheld steam cleaners and steam mops and they often can tackle tougher cleaning jobs When shopping for a canister steam cleaner They usually come with a large assortment of attachments Handheld steam cleaners are meant to be carried so they are more portable and can reach hard-to-clean areas They tend to have smaller tanks than canister steam cleaners but the water capacity is often more than what you would find in steam mops Because steam cleaners use really hot water you shouldn’t use them on hardwood floors that are not sealed you can test clean a small area to ensure there is no damage They also can handle bigger jobs that may cause other cleaning tools to struggle This expertise and knowledge help us choose the best steam cleaners—we know what features are important to look for when shopping for a steam cleaner While we didn’t personally test all the steam cleaners we have recommended here we’re confident we’ve found some of the best on the market Prices were accurate at the time this article was published but may change over time Alex Kane was a former senior editor at USA Today’s Reviewed and the author of the Boss Fight Books volume on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Samantha Mangino is a self-proclaimed homebody Conveniently she is a home staff writer at Reviewed She knows her way around a house and has tested everything from furniture She’s always on the hunt for the latest internet trends and wants to help make your home cleaner and cozier Due to the 3-hour work stoppage announced by the workers' unions on Friday (from 12:00 to 15:00) there will be cancellations on some of the Hellenic Train network routes According to an announcement by Hellenic Train with the assistance of the workers' unions will run services with security personnel during the work stoppage It is noted that the Athens-Thessaloniki-Athens axis will be operated normally the routes that will not be operated are as follows:Pireus -

A new railway line that connects the towns of Kiato, Diakofto and Aigio in the northern Peloponese went into operation on Thursday, the Ministry of Development & Investments announced. The line includes three railway stations at Xylokastro, Akrata and Aigio, and six railway stops at Diminio, Lykoporia, Lygia, Platanos, Diakofto and Eliki. The project, undertaken by ErgOSE SA with a budget total of 848 million euros and co-financed by the EU's Cohesion Fund 2000-2006 and NSRF resources, includes the construction of the second Corinth-Kiato railway line of 22.3 km, as well as the construction of the new 70 km Kiato-Aigio line, along with the construction of the railway stations, the installation of signaling posts, and the relevant telecommunications infrastructures.  The project for the electrification of the railway segment linking the towns of Kiato and Aigio in the northern Peloponnese is expected to be canceled and re-tendered, according to government officials. The project is considered very important for the upgrade of the Athens-Patra link, since the latter, in the western Peloponnese, is the most important port of embarkation for passengers and cargo for various ports in Italy. When the project is finally completed, trains will run on a double line at speeds reaching up to 200 kilometers per hour. The already electrified Athens-Kiato segment is part of the Athens suburban railway. Your Ads Privacy ChoicesIMDb Railway projects worth more than 200 million euros are getting on track this week This concerns the Rododafni-Rio project in the Peloponnese which is expected to bring the railway closer and faster to Patra and the Palaiofarsalos-Kalambaka project in Thessaly On Tuesday the contract for the construction of the Rododafni-Rio section was signed with the Terna-Mytilineos consortium at the facilities of railway infrastructure company ErgOSE in the Panagopoula railway tunnel in Patra includes the construction of 28.8 kilometers of double-track railway infrastructure four minor stops as well as the electromechanical facilities inside the Panagopoula tunnel electrification and remote-controlled signaling projects are also under way which are expected to increase railway safety The cost of the project amounts to 129.5 million euros the work will last 36 months and will be co-financed by the European Union’s NSRF 2014-2020 program the installation of an electrification system on the Palaiofarsalos-Kalambaka railway line and the construction of a new bypass line at the Sofades station the contract between ErgOSE and contracting company Keep in mind that the Terna-Mytilineos joint venture has also undertaken the installation of an electrification system on the new double-track railway line that connects Kiato with Rododafni This system and the new project signed on Tuesday concern the completion of the new double-track railway line of the Piraeus-Athens-Kiato-Patra network which is part of the Piraeus-Thessaloniki-northern border line and is connected to the European railway network the railway regulator (RAS) has approved the operation of signaling remote control and traffic control projects in parts of the central axis of the network

didn't even know what the magic stone was to begin with and the only reason the Black Bulls were able to obtain it was because Asta's bird just found it laying around offscreen during the fight The whole battle royale set-up is still so baffling to me Now that the arc's over we can see the through-line in full and it's a cooky old man holding his grandchildren's dreams hostage for fun so the viewers at home can watch a dull tournament that gets interrupted immediately and none of it mattered on any conceivable level who have suffered the most in the fallout of the Vetto fight Kahono's lost her vocal chords and Kiato lost his leg Kahono can still speak to Noelle telepathically and they share a nice moment together Kahono's a good girl and you hope she can recover sooner than later and her friendship with Noelle is a genuine and heartfelt beat that I wish could have been explored with more lucidity in the arc itself Also in need of some rest and relaxation is Asta who's broken both of his arms and gets to spend the episode dual-weilding a pair of slings but more so I really appreciate the scene where he and Yami pay their respects to Vetto's corpse Vetto was by far the show's most effective villain yet and he isn't simply knocked-out or imprisoned and it's not without recognizing that there's some kind of injustice at the heart of the Clover Kingdom giving birth to villains like the Eye of the Midnight Sun I thought the extraordinarily entertaining fight was enough to warrant a moment of silence but the show offers Vetto sincere sympathy for the ambiguous despair he's been carrying throughout his life So that's a wrap on the Underwater Temple arc It was like a delicious sandwich being held proudly together by two slices of stale The Vetto fight alone is enough to call this the best arc of the series to date and it's a good thing that it makes up about 80% of the arc because it exists in spite of some honestly garbage material This is a conservatively animated conclusion that in equal parts cuts to the heart of its most important characters and suffers from the fundamentally weak storytelling that kickstarted the arc Sam Leach

for a series of concerts and Vetto feels threatening in a way he didn't before screw you too" face while she's at the villain's mercy made me really like her and from there the fight rests on Noelle's
