The anchorage on the southern side of Imeri Gramvousa island can be approached from the west, in which case care should taken to avoid the reefs extending south from the SW corner of the island and north from the Tigani peninsula.  However, a safer approach is from the north, where a course midway between the island and the isolated Petalidho rock brings you up to the anchorage.  A rusting wreck marks the eastern end of the bay.
