|}{{TOCleft}}The Gulf of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euboea Evia], that is the gulf between the large island of Evia and mainland Greece, is not a popular cruising ground. The waters of this gulf tend to be less clear than the Aegean and there is a sizable industrial development along the southern mainland. However, many yachts choose to transit the more protected gulf on their way from the Athens region to the Sporades islands instead of braving the notorious Kafireas Stait with is strong northerly winds.

</p><p>A yacht can wait for the bridge to open moored side-to by the customs house on the SE side of the channel or in the marina (30 27.453N, 023 35.445E) which used to be operated by the Yacht Club but is now run by the local authority. The marina is very welcoming. Alternatively there is also an anchorage area on the south side. On the N side a yacht can either wait moored stern-to the NE town quay or anchor off on the NW side. Take care when mooring alongside to allow for the tide which can be significant.

<h5>Halkis Bridge</h5>
-
 
+
<p>The bridge spans the 39 m wide <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euripus_Strait">Euripus Channel</a> and carries all the vehicular traffic into and out of Evia. Because of that the powers that be are very reluctant to open the bridge, especially during heavy traffic hours. Anyway, water traffic can only travel through the channel when the tidal stream, which can be as high as 7 knots is at a low point. As a result the bridge is only opened when the current is under 2-3 knots and at night. Boats that want to pass through the channel have to wait, sometimes for 2 days.
-
<font color="red">Warning:</font> The bottom is full of objects where an anchor can get fouled. Use a trip line.

</p><p>You must visit the Coast Guard (<i>Limenarchio</i>) in advance to book a passage through the bridge. They will then contact you on VHF Channel 12 in the evening to check you are ready and to call you to start the transit through the bridge.

Kastri is a pleasant anchorage on the Evia side of the Kafireas channel. It is well protected from the <i>meltemi</i> but with strong winds there can develop an uncomfortable swell in the cove, there can also be some rather strong gusts.

Contents

The Gulf of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euboea">Evia</a>, that is the gulf between the large island of Evia and mainland Greece, is not a popular cruising ground. The waters of this gulf tend to be less clear than the Aegean and there is a sizable industrial development along the southern mainland. However, many yachts choose to transit the more protected gulf on their way from the Athens region to the Sporades islands instead of braving the notorious Kafireas Stait with is strong northerly winds.

Approach and Navigation

Approached to the gulf are straightforward. The trickiest part is transiting the Euripus Channel with its low bridge and strong tidal current which can reach 6-7 knots.

Berthing Options

The major port in the Gulf of Evia is Halkis.

Ports

Halkis

<img src="/images/thumb/2/22/Greece_Evia_Halkis_h.jpg/345px-Greece_Evia_Halkis_h.jpg" _fck_mw_filename="Greece Evia Halkis h.jpg" _fck_mw_location="right" _fck_mw_width="345" _fck_mw_type="thumb" alt="" class="fck_mw_frame fck_mw_right" />

<img src="/images/7/72/World_icon.png" _fck_mw_filename="World icon.png" alt="" /> 38°27.7′N, 23°35.3′E

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalkis">Halkis</a> (Χαλκίς) or Chalkis or Khalkis is the capital of Evia. It is a bustling and fairly pleasant place.

A yacht can wait for the bridge to open moored side-to by the customs house on the SE side of the channel or in the marina (30 27.453N, 023 35.445E) which used to be operated by the Yacht Club but is now run by the local authority. The marina is very welcoming. Alternatively there is also an anchorage area on the south side. On the N side a yacht can either wait moored stern-to the NE town quay or anchor off on the NW side. Take care when mooring alongside to allow for the tide which can be significant.

Warning: The bottom is full of objects where an anchor can get fouled. Use a trip line.

Halkis Bridge

The bridge spans the 39 m wide <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euripus_Strait">Euripus Channel</a> and carries all the vehicular traffic into and out of Evia. Because of that the powers that be are very reluctant to open the bridge, especially during heavy traffic hours. Anyway, water traffic can only travel through the channel when the tidal stream, which can be as high as 7 knots is at a low point. As a result the bridge is only opened when the current is under 2-3 knots and at night. Boats that want to pass through the channel have to wait, sometimes for 2 days.

You must visit the Coast Guard (Limenarchio) in advance to book a passage through the bridge. They will then contact you on VHF Channel 12 in the evening to check you are ready and to call you to start the transit through the bridge.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karystos">Karistos</a> or Karystos (Κάρυστος) is a large, mostly commercial, harbor in S Evia. While the harbor is large finding room is another mater all together. Also, the Limenarchio (Coast Guard) is very vigilant and liable to overcharge you.

This is a good place to wait a good weather window when you are going N on the infamous Kafireas Strait.

The inner basin of the harbor is an excellent all-around shelter. Anchor in the inner basin and moor stern-to. The bottom is mud and it provides good holding.

With the prevailing during the during the summer meltemi winds you can anchor off E of the harbor in front of the small fort. Anchor in 6 m depth over sand. Good holding.

Caution: There can be violent gusts and katabatic winds into the bay, especially when the N wind is blowing hard.

Voufalo (Βούφαλο) or Bouphalo is a convenient anchorage between Halkis and the S end of Evia. Enter the Creek slowly avoiding the E sand bar and anchor in 5-6 m. There is a hamlet ashore.

Kastri is a pleasant anchorage on the Evia side of the Kafireas channel. It is well protected from the meltemi but with strong winds there can develop an uncomfortable swell in the cove, there can also be some rather strong gusts.

The cove is on the SW side of the island <a href="http://www.maicar.com/GML/Atalanta.html">Atalanti</a>, about 30 nM NW of <a href="#Halkis">Halkis</a> and near the mainland. The island is deserted and it is used as a bird sanctuary. It is a very pleasant anchorage.

You can easily reach by dinghy the small harbor in the mainland, Skala Atalantis, less than a mile from the island.
