[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angistri Angistri] (Αγκίστρι) is a small island in the Saronic Gulf of Greece, four miles SW of the larger island of [[Aegina]]. It is a popular weekend haunt for yachts and motor boats from the marinas around Athens as well as a useful stopping off point for vessels bound to or from the Corinth Canal.  The island has two small harbours, Angistri yacht harbour on the NW side and Skala on the E side.  The latter is a ferry harbour and is unsuitable for yachts.  At the SW end of the island, opposite the islet of Dhorousa, is a series of small, attractive anchorages giving good shelter from the prevailing N/NE winds, two of which have tavernas ashore.

The approach to Angistri Yacht Harbour from E should be made either through the Steno Metopis, the channel between Aegina and the islets of Nisis Metopi, or around the N side of [[Aegina]] itself.  The channel between Angistri and Nisis Metopi is shallow and dangerous with even moderate winds.  From S and W, the approach is straightforward, except that a yacht should not approach the coast immediately W of the yacht harbour too closely as there are shoals extending 100 metres off it.

Angistri (Αγκίστρι) is a small island in the Saronic Gulf of Greece, four miles SW of the larger island of Aegina. It is a popular weekend haunt for yachts and motor boats from the marinas around Athens as well as a useful stopping off point for vessels bound to or from the Corinth Canal. The island has two small harbours, Angistri yacht harbour on the NW side and Skala on the E side. The latter is a ferry harbour and is unsuitable for yachts. At the SW end of the island, opposite the islet of Dhorousa, is a series of small, attractive anchorages giving good shelter from the prevailing N/NE winds, two of which have tavernas ashore.

Navigation

The approach to Angistri Yacht Harbour from E should be made either through the Steno Metopis, the channel between Aegina and the islets of Nisis Metopi, or around the N side of Aegina itself. The channel between Angistri and Nisis Metopi is shallow and dangerous with even moderate winds. From S and W, the approach is straightforward, except that a yacht should not approach the coast immediately W of the yacht harbour too closely as there are shoals extending 100 metres off it.

The harbour lies immediately NW of the only settlement on the island and it is the only place on the island which offers good shelter in all conditions (with the exception of strong E or NE winds, which send a swell into the harbour). The harbour consists of a long curved breakwater extending N and E from the shore and a short jetty extending N from the shore just inside the entrance. The harbour is entered from ESE around the end of the breakwater. Depths shoal in the approach to the entrance to 4.0 – 5.0 metres, but the water is so clear here you can see the bottom. Depths in the harbour are 2.5 – 4.5 metres. Much of the harbour is taken up with permanent moorings and visiting yachts will normally have two options: mooring stern/bows-to the breakwater quay, where depths range from 2.5 metres at the inner corner to 4.5 metres at the outer end; or mooring alongside on either side of a short pontoon that extends at right angles from the breakwater quay. Depths along the pontoon are 3.5 – 4.0 metres. If mooring on the quay, you will probably need to use your anchor. Be sure to lay out at least 25 metres or so to avoid the mooring blocks of the boats on laid moorings. Because the quay curves round the harbour, crossed anchors are common, especially at busy periods when vessels are sometimes double-banked. If arriving late and the harbour is full, it may also be possible to lie alongside the short jetty at the entrance once the ferries have stopped running. Water and electricity are available along the quay but not on the pontoon. Water is restricted and you will have to ask for it to be turned on.
