The large harbor is very well protected and is an all weather shelter. One can anchor off, in 6 m depth with excellent holding in mud, but the port authorities seem to disapprove.
There are two other alternatives: dock side-to the very tall quay to the N, or, if free, use one of the moorings of the yacht club at the SW end of the harbor and visit the port police in the large white building in the center of town to make your presence known.
Warning: There are large numbers of flies and mosquitoes here.
