Berthing Options

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

None.

Anchorages

The large bay is mostly sand, sloping gently to the beach. The southern end is more stony. There are undersea pipelines running from Nisis Agios Pavlos (the bunkering island) to the small bay in the north. You must not anchor in the vicinity of these pipelines, the buoys shown on my charts were not there in 2007 or 2012.

The bottom of the sandy bay is littered with old warps (thick) and large chains, it is important to look before dropping anchor.

Offshore Islands and Groups

None.
