Vathy is a small but safe harbour on the west side of the Methana peninsula with room for half a dozen yachts on anchor moor.  Shelter is good and depths are 3-5 meters along the quay.  There are a couple of small tavernas around the harbour. The bottom is mud and provides good holding.

Korfos (Κόρφος) or Sofiko (Σοφικό) is a pleasant cove in the Saronic Gulf a few miles S of the [[Corinth Canal]]. It is now a base for charter boats and during weekends can be crowded. Anchor off in 6-10 m, holding is not always good. There are two restaurant quays with lazy lines on the north west side of the cove and also  a small quay but it is very hard to find room there.

Epidhavros (Επίδαυρος) or Palea (Old) Epidhavros is a safe harbor to leave the yacht while attending a performance at the ancient theater of Epidaurus or visiting the Sanctuary of Asklepios. You can take a taxi, 20 min. For a performance make sure you have advanced tickets.

The harbor provides good shelter. You can go stern-to along the quay or anchor off in 5 m. The bottom is mud and weed and provides fairly good holding. Good shopping.

Kechries (Κεχριές) or Cenchreai is a cove just 2 nM S of Isthmia, the western end of the Corinth Canal. In the antiquity Kechries was the port of the city of Corinth in the Saronikos (Saronic) gulf. The ancient harbor was excavated in the 1960's. A number of of the excavation finds are now exhibited in the Isthmia Museum (I worked as a diver assisting my archaeologist wife for one season of this excavation --Istioploos).

With settled weather you can anchor off in 3-5m depth over sand and rocks and visit the site.

Krasopanayia

Krasopanayia (Κρασοπαναγιά) is very pleasant uninhabited anchorage on the NE side of the Methana Peninsula just across from Epidhavros. It is very convenient and secure anchorage. Unfortunately it has been spoiled by a fish farm. Anchor in 6-10 m and take a line ashore.
