The anchorage should be approached from the northern end, to avoid the reefs extending from the shore in the centre and also towards the northern end. At the time of visit (June 2009), the more northern of the two reefs was conveniently marked by a coastal freighter which had run aground on this reef. However, attempts were being made to refloat it at the time, so it may be removed at some stage.
Check-in facilities

Anchor in 5-6 meters in the NW corner of the bay, just off a small shingle beach some 50 meters NE of the beached freighter (if it is still there). The bay is an excellent stop-off for a visit to the Minoan site of Zakros and the Valley of the Dead, where rock-cut tombs are to be found.
