Sailing the Shores of Stouronisi: A Skipper's Guide to This Greek Gem

Stouronisi Island, a tiny jewel nestled in the Aegean Sea, beckons sailors with its promise of adventure, serenity, and a taste of ancient Greece. Imagine sailing past the mythical shores of this island, where Poseidon once roamed, and the winds whisper tales of ancient heroes. Stouronisi offers something for every sailor, from the thrill of navigating challenging channels to the tranquility of anchoring in secluded bays. The island’s crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and charming villages are a siren’s call, tempting you to explore its hidden coves and soak in the sun-drenched Aegean bliss.

Stouronisi Anchorages Overview

Stouronisi Western Anchorage

Anchorage
This is what sailors experienced: This anchorage is a true gem, offering excellent protection. Don’t be fooled by Navionics’ depth readings – the north sill actually sits at a respectable 6.7m in the middle. Be mindful of the abundant Posidonia seagrass, choosing your spot carefully to avoid damage. For ultimate peace of mind, aim for the center of the anchorage. The wind tends to be fickle here, so you’ll want as much room to swing as possible.

Stouronisi Northern Anchorage

Anchorage
This is what sailors experienced: The charts are a bit stingy with details on the depth in front of the rock, so it’s best to approach with caution. We found a comfortable spot on sand at the top of the bay, in 4m, and secured with a line ashore. This spot is only recommended for settled weather, as it can be exposed to shifting winds. Despite the potential for a bit of wind, this anchorage is a tranquil haven, with an abundance of fascinating wildlife to observe.
