Porto Lago (Πόρτο Λάγγο) is a harbor in the Vistonikos gulf in Thrace. Lake Vistonis is a narrow strip away. This is an area with many water foul. The port is very commercial but surprisingly not unattractive, save for murky waters which give home to clouds of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

The approach to Porto Lago is via a dredged channel in the very shallow Vistonikos gulf, it is best not to be attempted at night, although it is well marked by buoys.

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 equally less attractive: dock side-to the very tall quay to the N, or dock at the two floating piers in what may be a "yachting club" on the SW which has very short and dirty laid mooring lines. It is best to anchor and come either bow or stern-to the outer pier.
Warning: There are large numbers of flies and mosquitoes here.
