I've just noticed this thread and since you mentioned Igoumenitsa, I'll throw in my 2 cents worth.
Just back in October we (myself + 4 family members) were on a sailing holiday ~ not a birding holiday. Towards the end of the week we found ourselves having to make a stop in Igoumenitsa to get some munski out of the bank!
We were only moored for less than an hour as Igoumenitsa is a very busy international commercial port and isn't the most pleasant place for a yacht. The colour of the water isn't what I'd consider conducive to any kind of fish-eating creature, and that is why we were so surprised to see a Kingfisher land, and stay on our stern line for about a minute before flying off to land on a rail parallel to, and about half-a-metre above the waterline of a nearby ferry boat.
So, what do I know about fishing in murky brown dockland water?
Obviously not as much as that Kingfisher!
P.S. ~ I hope that you've got yourself a digital SLR by now !!! . . it's the only way to go!
