Taverna Spilia uit Meganisi Menukaart

We have been there 4 times in the last couple of weeks. It is a safe place to stay with a boat, no mooring fees, but the requirement to eat in the restaurant. Which is fair and the food and prices are reasonable. The old man, who hands over the mooring lines is special, but gives precise and good commands. Overall we were always very happy there. But yesterday we came there, after we had asked for available boat places. On the phone we were told that we can stay one night. When we arrived, we were the only boat there. 6 more came after us and 2 of those had been send away. The reason for the first boat being send away was unclear to us. They were told that there is strong weather coming and the place wouldn’t be safe for their boat. 4 further boats and we were however accepted. A 6th boat with 3 elderly and not very competent people on board was send away after 2 failed docking attempts. Despite the good advice of the harbormaster they had hit the concrete quay twice. Then the harbormaster threw them their lines back, shouted at them they should go elsewhere, he would not like such incompetent people at his place. Specifically because of the forecasted very bad weather (heavy rain and thunderstorms) I found that inadequate. Over night there were 4 boats. Despite the heavy rain, we had a good night. But the weather forecast for the next 2 days is worse, so we wanted to stay. I spoke to a boat neighbor, who had also been told that he can only stay one night. Since he was ready, he wanted to ask if we could both stay one or 2 nights longer. He came back with a confirmation, but we might have to move places, since a flotilla would be coming. We were happy to keep our safe harbor place and had breakfast. Then we heard the neighbors moving places and when I went on deck, the harbormaster immediately asked, when we would be leaving. When I responded that our neighbor had asked if we could both stay, he started shouting very strongly at the neighbor, that he had not asked for both and he had never confirmed that and we have to leave. Again, I find it totally I adequate to send people away in this weather. When sailing in the Baltic Sea, this would have never happened. People would have moved closer together and the harbormaster would have done anything to offer safe places to as many people as possible. Now were are at another (hopefully) safe place, but we will never again go to Taverna Spilia and their quay.
