Thank you for bringing us others into your dreams ... we dream and enjoy your stories.
We are ready to go on our own in 2022, and are well underway with the improvements (and savings) Do you want to share a little about the financials of sailing around the Mediterranean ... what does it typically cost to stay in a port in Italy and Greece? Do you think it is difficult to be wise at what a port space costs, find prices from 20-100 Euro on the net ... Maybe there is just this variation in prices ..?
Hope you soon have the opportunity to continue the dream. Looking forward to new stories

Thanks for the nice words.
Exciting that you are planning a trip. (You can enjoy yourself)
For us, port money has been a nice part of the cost of sailing in the Mediterranean.

when it is said (or rather written), it must be added that we as Danes also sail as Danes. That is, we go to port every night. Many others are at anchor. Some only to supply and bunker water and diesel and then spend the night at anchor. Others go to port maybe a couple of times a week and spend the rest of the week at anchor.
Prices vary from country to country, from port to port, but also within the year.
Of the three countries we visited, the most expensive was Italy. Greece the cheapest, while France was slightly cheaper than Italy.
A small impression of the price variation:
In Porto Rotondo in the Northeast Sardine, a port site for Heron costs € 218 per day in August (Yes you read right). € 142 in July, € 65 in June and September € 35 in May, € 18 in April and € 8 from October to March.
Typically, the price in Italy is around € 60 - 90 per day during peak season and slightly lower in France.
In Greece the price is € 20- 25 per day in the municipal ports and € 50- 60 per day in the private (here is also a great comfort).
We recommend downloading the app "NAVILY". Here you can enter data on your boat and get the port fees per day in most ports in France and Italy and a few in Greece. You can also (free) book a place, which may well be necessary in high season. The app also has an excellent overview of anchorages and user comments and weather forecasts (wind and waves) for each site.
The port fees in the canals are low. Typically € 8-12 per day. But you can also lie for free at a resting place, of which there are many in Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.
Hope this answers your question. Of course, feel free to ask for more.
