Marina radio contact
Call VHF channel 09 - (before entry). For long term arrangements call at +30 22730 61600. The manager Mr. Spyros Moustakas, is very eager to please his customers.
The approach to the marina is straightforward. It is best to stay close to the jetty on your port side as you enter the marina.
Berthing
The attendants will meet you outside the marina with their inflatable and guide you to a berth. They will assist you to dock. There are laid mooring lines, do not anchor.
If you are either entering or exiting Greece, you will have to walk to Pythagorio, 15 minutes, for the formalities.
NOTE: The attendants are not at the marina 24hr/day. They usually arrive sometime between 9-10 AM and leave around 8-9 PM.

Security
There are great plans (closed circuit TV, gatehouse, 24hr security etc) but as of the spring of 2014, the provided security was minimum. Nevertheless, Samos is a very low-crime area.
