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.

Navigation/Approach

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.

  • Restaurant Anna's, food is fair. Popular with the locals
  • Café

  • There is a sailmaker's shop (off the marina)

Security

There are great plans (closed circuit TV, gatehouse, 24hr security etc) but as of the autum of 2010, the provided security was minimum. Nevertheless, Samos is a very low-crime area.
