 Chart of Pelagos Region |
The island of Pelagos (Πέλαγος), sometimes referred to as Kyra-Panayia (Κυρα-Παναγιά), is an uninhabited island. It has two very good anchorages: Planitis in the north-east and Kyra-Panayia in the south-west. Planitis is a large landlocked bay, surrounded by green vegetation. On the east side of the island there is an old, now abandoned, monastery. The whole island is the property of the Agia Lavra monastery in Mount Athos. They have leased grazing rights to some people in Volos, who own several large herds of goats. Several times a year they come and herd their goats. It is also a sanctuary for marine mammals and birds, and fishing is prohibited.
The organization for the preservation of the Mediterranean Seal, Monachus Monachus or as it is locally known, MOm operates out of Alonnisos. They operate an information pavilion in Patitiri, a seal rescue station in Gerakas, and a patrol boat that helps with the enforcement of the regulations of the marine sanctuary, also referred to as the Marine Park. The regulations prohibit any vessel to approach within 1 nM the islands of Piperi and Yura and allows anchorage only at Planitis and Kyra-Panayia in Pelagos and at Skantzoura.

In general, during the summer months the meltemi is weaker in the Sporades region. Approaches to the island are straight forward, no dangers. Specific dangers are mentioned, as needed, for each anchorage.

Ports
None.
Marinas
None.
Anchorages
Planitis
Planitis is a most secure anchorage as it is totally enclosed by land save a narrow 82 m opening. The sea here is always flat and the bottom is weed and sand which provide very good holding. There are several places to anchor, all equally good. The bay is lovely although the water is not very clear.
Caution: Always enter the bay by keeping the little island to your right. At the left side of the island there are many dangerous rocks. During strong north winds entering and exiting the bay may be impossible.
There is a nice 1 hr walk, following the path, that leads to a lovely fjord at the north-east of the island. The path is pleasant, there are herds of goats and a flock of pheasants.
Kyra-Panayia
Monastery Cove
This cove, on the east side of the island can be used for visiting the abandoned monastery, a short walk along the path.
Warning: The cove is not a good anchorage and a yacht can only anchor for brief period only when the weather is calm.Amenities
