a) Could someone give me some information on marinas in Greece? (number of marinas, locations etc.)

b) Could someone please post some pictures of Greek marinas

Such infrastructure is very important for the country, as many wealthy tourists tour the Med on their yatchs. In other words, Greece can (and I believe does) make a lot of money from this particular sector.

:(

i tried to find some pics but i couldnt...sorry....

']is there lots of marinas in Greece?

Of course Giorgos Greece has many gulfs and many islands so there are many suitable places for Marinas. Actually ther are 19 big Marinas in Greece but 22 under construction.
