From Messalonghi I flew between the Peloponese peninsula and Greek mainland towards and across the Corinth Canal. Then I continued over the Argosaronic islands of Aegina, Poros and Hydra and landed at Kythira, the southernmost island of the Ionian island group. After a brief break I flew further south to largest Greek island - Crete.
