Fleves (Φλέβες) is a small island off the Athens resort of Vouliagmeni in the Saronic Gulf. There is only one safe anchorage at the SW side of the island. It affords reasonable shelter from the ''meltemi'' and considering the proximity to the greater Athens area is a pleasant and peaceful anchorage. Anchor at the S side of the cove at about 10 m, good holding in weed and sand.

Anavissos (Ανάβυσος) is a large bay NW of Cape Sounio. Here there is better protection from the meltemi than in Sounio. It best to anchor off the small harbor in 3-5 m. Holding is reasonable. I have weathered a bad meltemi here after I was forced to depart from Sounio in the middle of the night.

Warning: Night Approaches are very hard because the flashing Green light is blanked by the high intensity highway lights.

Sounio

World icon.png 37°39.2′N, 24°01.4′E

Just to the W of Cape Sounio (Σούνιο) there is a cove where you can anchor. It is usually crowded and it is not a very secure but it is a great place to anchor while visiting the famous temple of Poseidon a 10 minute walk up the hill.

Anchor in 3-5 m depth. The bottom is weed and the holding is bad. Look for a patch of sand to the N of the cove.

Danger: With a strong meltemi there are violent gusts and the anchorage may not be tenable. It is best to go to Anavissos rather then risk collision with another drifting yacht.
