There are two coves here: Katsadiá [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Katsadiá|Katsadiá]] (Κατσαδιά) 37°16.9′N, 26°46.3′E and Papandriá [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Papandriá|Papandriá]] (Παπανδριά) 37°16.8′N, 26°46.2′E . These coves are also known as Limni or Lira, because of the little island named Lira (Λύρα) or Lera at its entrance, it is on the southern side of the Lipsi which is not heavily inhabited. Both are wonderful coves, well protected from the meltemi and have very clear, emerald-green waters over a sandy bottom. A few bathers come during the day and there are one or two tents with overnight campers. It is a favorite anchorage of many yachts as there are two other coves near by. Anchor in 6.0 metres over a sandy patch in either cove. Very good holding (but not everywhere) despite the very strong gusts. One can walk to town about 40 minutes away.
