Maronia Harbor
40°52.6′N, 25°30.5′E
The small harbor of Maronia is a delightful place. There is 4-5 m depth along the W breakwater, inside the harbor, to tie side-to. Good shelter from the meltemi.
Danger: The foundations of the ancient harbor are just below the surface right in the middle of the port and E of the breakwater.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None.
Anchorages
Coves E of the Harbor
40°52′N, 25°35.2′E
There are some nice coves W of the Maronia Peninsula. We spend the night in one at 6 m depth and were reasonably well sheltered from the meltemi although there was some swell. On our way E we saw another cove about 1 M further towards Alexandroupolis.
