Ports
Mersini
36°52.3′N, 25°30.6′E
Mersini (Μερσίνη) or Mirsini or Myrsini (Μυρσίνη) is almost land-locked and very well protected from the meltemi but it is exposed to the southerlies and is subject to gusts.
It is best to avoid the quay which is used by the ferries. Anchor closer to the beach at 5-6 m. Good holding. Because the cove is narrow and fairly popular you may not have adequate swinging room. It is best to also take a line shore.
Warning: In the fall the wind is liable to change direction during the night. Use either a shore line or a second anchor at the stern.

None.
Anchorages
Tsigouri
36°51.9′N, 25°30.9′E
Tsigouri is just south east of Mersini. It is fairly well sheltered from the meltemi but, like Mersini, it is exposed to the southerlies.
Anchor on a patch of sand at 4-5 m depth. Good holding. It is about a 20 minute walk to Chora.
Warning: The Limenarchio (Coast Guard) may chase you away from the swimming area.
Aligaria

36°51.6′N, 25°31.4′E
There are several secluded anchorages south of Mersini. All are reasonably sheltered from the meltemi but exposed to the southerlies.
The one indicated to the east of Agrilos Island provides the best shelter. Anchor over sand in 5-6 m. Good holding. It is about a 45 minute walk to Chora.
Warning: Do not attempt to go between the islands. It is not deep enough. You have to take the long loop.
