Cape Drastis

This anchorage boasts a beautiful, sandy bottom with depths of 5m, making it suitable for mooring. However, be aware of the exposed nature of the location. While the scenery is stunning, the sandy bottom can cause the water to appear slightly murky.

The entrance can be tricky to navigate, especially when the winds are high. But for those who dare to venture in, the rewards are plentiful.

Liapades Beach

This anchorage boasts exceptional holding at a depth of 9m, requiring a generous 40m of chain for optimal security. While generally calm, be aware of occasional, unpredictable wind gusts that may sweep through the valley.

Chomi Beach

This anchorage offers a sandy bottom at a depth of 10m, but caution is advised due to the presence of rocks, which may be visible in good weather. This anchorage is recommended only for brief stops in calm weather conditions.

Giali Beach

This secluded bay offers a stunning setting for a peaceful escape. The sheltered cove boasts a rocky bottom, ideal for anchoring thanks to its grippy nature. There’s ample room for a couple of boats, and easy access to a beautiful beach makes it perfect for enjoying the natural beauty.

Paralia Ermones

We found good holding in 6m of water with 30m of chain. While the clean sandy bottom provided excellent anchoring, be mindful of the numerous buoys positioned towards the shore and maintain a safe distance.

Monastery of Theotokos Dikaia

This anchorage presents a significant challenge and is only recommended for experienced sailors with favorable weather conditions. Approach is possible only from the south. The clear waters reveal stunning beauty, with large boulders nestled amidst white sand. However, proceed with caution as the bottom changes depth rapidly, and a rock flush with the water lies in the center of the anchorage.

Paralía Mikró Nisí

This expansive sandy area, located in front of the path leading to the beach, offers depths ranging from 4-6m. While the sandy bottom makes for a pleasant anchoring spot, be aware that rocky outcroppings extend several hundred meters offshore, creating shallower water depths of 6-8m.

Saint Peters Beach

This wide-open bay offers a convenient spot to drop anchor in the sand at a depth of 5m. While exposed to all weather quadrants, it’s a fantastic location for a refreshing swim after a leisurely lunch.

Paralia Molos

This sheltered spot provides welcome protection from southerly winds. We found a comfortable anchorage in 4m of water along the jetty of the small fishing port.

Notos Beach

This picturesque spot, nestled between the mainland and the small island of Prasoudi, offers calm waters and stunning scenery, making it the perfect place to drop anchor and relax.

A sandy bottomed anchorage at 5m offers a convenient spot close to shore. For those seeking shallower depths, sand patches between 4-5m provide good holding. The picturesque natural setting further enhances the appeal of this delightful anchorage.

Paralia Messogi

We found excellent holding in 4m of water with a sandy bottom.

Moraitika Beach

This gentle, gradually sloping bay offers numerous clear sandy & little seagrass areas for anchoring. We found a comfortable spot at a depth of 6m, approximately 200m from the shore.

Benitses Marina
