Caution
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of
this supplement. However, it contains selected
information and thus is not definitive and does not
include all known information on the subject in
hand.

The author and Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson Ltd

believe this supplement to be a useful aid to prudent
navigation, but the safety of a vessel depends
ultimately on the judgement of the navigator, who
should assess all information, published or
unpublished, available to him/her.

This supplement contains amendments and

corrections sent in by a number of cruising
yachtsmen and women, in addition to those culled
from official sources such as Notices to Mariners.

If you do not have a reverse polarity indicator on
your 220V distribution panel, invest a few pounds in
a plug-in polarity checker – it will tell you if there
are any faults in the shore-side wiring before you
use the supply.
Page 7 Immigration and Border Control
EU citizens, and citizens of Schengen countries may
travel and live within any Schengen country on an
unlimited basis, but will be considered as a resident
of any country where they reside for more than 183
days in one year. A resident must comply with that
country’s laws on taxes and specific maritime laws,
and may become an issue for live-aboards spending
a long time in one country.
Non EEA passport holders are permitted to stay in
the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any six month
period. If visitors spend three months within the
area, they must leave the area for at least the next
three months. Some people will need to obtain a visa
on or before arrival. The Schengen visa is a permit to
travel within this area once the application is
accepted. It is not a work permit.

Visitors from the following countries do not

require a visa, but must travel within the restrictions
noted above. The list is not exhaustive and if in
doubt check the requirements with your embassy.
Australia

Israel

Brazil

New Zealand

Canada

Switzerland

Croatia

USA

In reality, visitors who do not require visas and

who are travelling on their own vessel do not appear
to have this time limit enforced and many have
stayed longer within the Schengen area without
penalty, but there is nothing to say that the
regulations will not be enforced, and you may be
fined for over-staying. Those who can demonstrate
that they are travelling through the area are less
likely to hit problems than those who stay for long
periods within one country.

If you do require a visa (South African or Turkish

nationals for example) it is worth applying for a
multi-entry visa to assist with travel arrangements.
Visas are not readily extended.

Those wishing to stay longer than three months

may need to obtain a residence permit.
Notes
1. European Economic Area EEA
An area consisting of all the EU countries plus
several more with special trade and travel
agreements. These ‘extra’ countries are all part of
the Schengen area.
Non EU EEA countries:
Iceland
Switzerland is not in the EEA but has similar
agreements
Liechtenstein
Norway
2. Schengen Agreement
An agreement between European countries which is
intended to guarantee free movement of all people
between participating countries. Land border
controls have been lifted between participating
countries, although controls may be imposed for
exceptional circumstances. External borders with
non-signatory countries and sea borders retain strict
border controls. Anybody entering the Schengen
area from outside should expect full immigration
controls. Not all EU countries are signatories of
Schengen, and the agreement includes the non-EU
countries listed above.

VAT
3. If a VAT paid boat is sold within the EU it retains
its status, but if it changes hands outside the EU, it
will become liable for VAT as soon as it re-enters the
EU. There is also some discussion that VAT becomes
liable again if a VAT paid vessel has been outside the
EU for longer periods, say three years or more. But
as long as you can prove that you owned the boat
prior to leaving the EU, and that the vessel had VAT
paid status at that time, there should be few
problems.
Page 10 Pets
Pets living in the EU with a ‘Pet Passport’ which
contains details of rabies vaccinations, and other
preventative treatments, may travel within the EU.
The animal should also have a microchip implant to
prove its identity. Pets entering the EU from a non-
EU country with equal rabies status must have proof
of rabies vaccination three months before entering
the EU.

Page 11 Banks and ATMs
Many UK debit and credit cards charge you for
foreign purchases and cash withdrawals at anything
up to 2% of the amount. The exchange rate set by
the bank is also often loaded by up to 3%. Some
credit cards and a few debit cards are charge free,
and it is worth looking at these if you are a regular
traveller to Euro countries. Prepaid cards, usually
under the Mastercard umbrella and allied to a UK
bank or building society, are another way to reduce
these charges. You load the card with euros by
transferring money from your bank account at an
agreed rate, and it then allows you to spend the
money up to the amount you have on the card, either
by withdrawing cash or spending as you would
normally with Mastercard. The exchange rate for
cards like FairFX and Caxton is usually better than
that of the major banks, they do not charge to
transfer the money, and only a small fixed charge is
made for cash withdrawals. It means that you can
tranfer funds at a known exchange rate, so you
know exactly how much you are spending. You can
reload the card easily using the internet or by phone.
You do need to be careful of how much you load as
the law regarding repayment of funds should the
card company go bust is ambiguous to say the least.
Page 12 Mobile phone and data communications
Greece has an excellent 3G and GSM network which
means you get a decent signal on your mobile phone
almost anywhere, including out sailing some
distance off the coast.

Many people now use smartphones with call and

data packages arranged with their UK provider that
can be used for calls, email, social networking and
internet browsing. Most people are unaware of their
data usage as they stream videos from Youtube, BBC
i-player or similar, play online games, or tweet and
post on social networks. When roaming on foreign
networks you will need to be.

EU rulings have forced mobile phone companies

to reduce their roaming call and data rates, although
costs are still considerably higher than at home –
your home allowances will not work abroad. And
don’t forget that it is still normal for you to be
charged to receive calls.

Provided your phone is unlocked for using abroad

it will automatically pick up the local signal, which
if 3G will mean data as well. You may want to
disable data roaming until you know the costs as
many smartphone applications are set to update
automatically and can run up huge roaming charges
that you are unaware of. Some providers allow you
to prepay for roaming packages, both calls and data,
which allow you to control your budget. Even if you
have bought a data add-on remember that many
apps use up sizable chunks of your data allowance
running in the background. Turn off any that you do
not need, and consider using Wi-Fi to update stuff
when you are in a café.

A ‘roaming’ EU data add-on to your existing

phone contract costs around £10–20 a month, with
a reasonable download limit for emails and light
internet use. Check with your provider as roaming
data charges vary enormously, and without an
agreement it is possible to run up huge bills. Once it
is all set up, you have all the convenience of receiving
email, or checking weather forecasts wherever you
are, and with some packages you can use your phone
as a modem so you can use your laptop.
Data access using a local SIM card and a laptop
Most local phone companies offer pay-as-you-go
SIM cards with data capability, which will utilise 3G
technology to give you broadband speed if the
network is capable. You can use the SIM card in a
local or unlocked mobile phone, or in a dedicated
USB 'dongle'. If using a dongle you simply plug in
and go. If you use a phone you will need to connect
to the computer either using a cable or Bluetooth
technology. Your UK phone is probably ‘locked’ to
your UK service provider so you can't use a different
SIM card in it.

The advantage of using a phone is that if a 3G

network is not available you can also use the GPRS
system – not as fast but adequate for email and light
surfing. Much is written elsewhere on the ins and
outs of both systems, but generally costs are linked
to data quantity downloaded/ uploaded, and can be
arranged on a daily or monthly basis. Shop around
the various companies, and in many larger towns the
staff will have a good knowledge of the options and
will be able to get you what you want. Costs are
generally higher than using wi-fi networks, but you
have the advantage of being able to use it anywhere
where you have a phone signal. You could even use
it to make cheap local calls!
Page 13 Provisioning
In most towns there are now big name supermarket
chains like AB, Carrefour, Lidl and Dia.
Unfortunately these are often on the outskirts of
town so it is a long walk to get to them. Familiar
brands for many foods are available, but imported
items naturally cost more than local produce.

Since the 1980s political power has oscillated
between the two main parties, Nea Democratia on
the right and Pasok (Pan Hellenic Socialist Party) on
the left. Greece is currently in the grip of a major
recession with government debt running at 115% of
GDP. It needed the combined forces of the EU
(principally shouldered by the Germans) and the
IMF to lend the government €145 billion over three
years and more if needed. The government has
imposed severe austerity measures to bring the
budget deficit down and this led to riots and strikes
in Athens.
Page 25 Electronic Charts and Plotters
Your choice of electronic chart package depends on
what hardware you have, the coverage you need,
and whether you want vector or rastor charts.
Vector charts are digital databases where the
information is layered on a ‘seamless’ screen, such
that as you zoom in, more ‘layers’ of information are
added to the picture. Conversely as you zoom out
the more detailed chart information will disappear.
Raster charts are a scanned copy of a paper chart,
such that as you zoom in or out the ‘picture’ on the
screen gets larger or smaller. You usually need to
manually select charts of different scales.

Most dedicated plotters use vector charts from a

small number of electronic chart companies such as
C-Map or Navionics. Others use their own
proprietory charts, like Garmin.

For laptop based chart packages you can choose

vector or raster charts. Raster charts are provided by
Maptech, SoftChart, British Admiralty (ARCS) and
Imray amongst others. Vector charts for laptops are
available from C-Map and Navionics, and with
these you may also need additional software for
planning routes and navigation.

It is a personal choice based on your pocket, your

hardware and your preferences. Whatever package
you have, it is important to become familiar with
how it works. When it is blowing half a gale and the
boat is bucking around it is not the time to be
puzzling how to construct a new route. In fact,
having a back-up plan when using elecronic charts is
just as important as it ever was.
Route Planning
Always plan longer passages on a paper chart. To
show the start and destination on screen for all but
the shortest routes it is necessary to zoom out many
times on your electronic chart. Vector charts on a
plotter or laptop will not show rocks, reefs and even
small islands until you get down to around
1:150,000 or even 1:100,000. Depending on the
resolution of the screen details on raster charts will
not be legible when zoomed out. Both these factors
can be dangerous if you are plotting a course over

longer distances when it will appear that there are no
dangers en route. Only by zooming in and panning
along the whole route will you come across dangers
to navigation. Plot passages on a paper chart where
even on a small scale chart dangers will at least be
marked with a dot or cross and usually a name
alongside it. There have been a number of yachts lost
because passages have been planned on electronic
charts without picking up on dangers along the
route.

Electronic chart software is now available for

smartphones, and can be a useful planning tool, or
as a back up, but is not really a substitute for a
plotter.
Page 30 HF Radio
Forecast times for all Greek stations now:
0633, 0903, 1533, 2133 UT
Page 32 Grib files
Grib files are computer generated and rely
principally on models using pressure differences to
predict wind speed and direction. Various
forecasters use different grib models, but the only
ones freely available are from NOAA and the US
Navy. The NOAA model, GFS, is the model
commonly used by free internet sites. The US Navy
NOGAPS and WW3 models are not dissimilar and
in any case WW3 is not useful for the
Mediterranean. A grib file is a compressed binary
file that can be delivered on an internet site or by an
email request.

It’s important to know that grib files do not have

any input from a forecasters grey matter that will
assess the effects of land masses, frontal activity and
squalls, and local geographical anomalies. They are
not good at modelling thermal effects and the
topographical effects of land masses and localised
sea temperature differences.

In the Mediterranean it's not surprising that with

large land masses around that heat up and cool at
different rates depending on their orientation to the
sun, that there are significant thermal effects that
gribs do not get right. Add to that the effects of
channelling and funnelling from land masses and
complex pressure differences over the land and sea
that you don’t always get over open water and the
result is that you must not expect accurate forecasts
from grib models.

Some forecasters use interpolations for various

influences on pressure and wind, but even this fine
tuning cannot deliver accurate forecasts all the time.
Thats not to say that gribs are not useful – they are.
But they are not the be-all and end-all for forecasts
and it's up to you to intepret the gribs and use them
as one part of your forecast along with data from
other sources.

Gouvia only has Port Police stationed at the marina.
EU yachts returning to Greece from an EU country,
who already have a DEKPA, may not need to go into
town. Otherwise you will need to visit the relevant
authorities in Corfu to pay for the DEKPA at a
special office, and to complete the customs
formalities and this will take a bit of time.

berth if at all possible. It is a bit isolated, with no
pedestrian or bicycle access to Preveza, but the
atmosphere is convivial. Many of the yachts have
either just launched or are preparing to haul, so
there’s a bit of purposeful bustle about the place.

Page 72 ORMOS KOPRAINIS
The bay in the NE corner of the gulf, formed on its
W edge by a long sandy spit ending in Ak Kopraina.

GREEK WATERS PILOT Supplement No.4
March 2011

10th edition 2007 ISBN 0 85288 971 8

Along the spit are two small harbours for local
fishing boats; in the southernmost one there may be
room for a small yacht to go alongside on the N
mole. Otherwise anchor off in the N of the bay
where there is reasonable shelter from the prevailing
wind, and good holding in mud and sand.
The shallows off the mouth of the Arta river extend
further than shown on most charts, and should be
given a good offing before shaping a course around
the S cardinal buoy off Av Palmatero.
Page 73 Levkas Canal
There have been a number of problems with deeper
draught yachts getting into the canal at the northern
end and some care is counselled. The sand spit
extends some distance out from the breakwater and
the end of it is periodically dredged. At the time of
writing the deeper channel is close to the sandspit
and then parallel to it so keep closer to the northern
side than to the red ‘buoys’ (these buoys are actually
small plastic affairs at present). The green buoy
marking the end of the spit is missing (2011). The
red ‘buoys’ marking the rocks have long ropes on
them and with the prevailing wind tend to blow
further south than the channel proper. Along the
north side of the channel depths are 3.5–4m, but
closer to the red ‘buoys’ depths are less and yachts
drawing more than 2m should endeavour to keep
close to the northern side. Be aware that currents in
the channel can push you off your intended course.
And do proceed slowly instead of charging out at
speed.

It is likely that the sandbank and northern

entrance will be dredged again soon in which case
depths may be greater than shown in the current
plan. silting will occur again, though not necessarily
to what exists at the time of writing. Any changes
will be posted in the supplement.

Note the deep channel runs very close to the spit,

even though in the photo the yachts are passing over
the shallower part.
Page 75 Levkas
It is prohibited to anchor in the harbour though the
port police are more often than not lenient for short
stay anchoring out of the canal, between the marina
and the town quay. In recent years yachts have taken
advantage of the goodwill of the port police and
anchored higgledy-piggledy all over the place,
including in the canal, where they obstruct the
passage of other boats. A little boat sense on the part
of cruising yachts will mean that yachts may still be
allowed to anchor, but if the goodwill is abused then
a blanket ban on anchoring, which is against the
bye-laws, will be enforced.
Levkas Marina
Charge band 4/5.
Page 80 Sivota
There is also a new pontoon outside Taverna Stavros
with laid moorings, though these may be a bit short
for larger yachts.

Page 83 Spartakhori
Between the quay and the taverna at the head of the
bay yachts can go bows-to along the low quay. There
are laid moorings at most berths.
Vathi (Meganisi)
Anchoring in the approaches to the harbour is now
discouraged as it obstructs the entrance to the

Page 88 Port Ay Nikolaos
Care needed of the reef around Nisis Ay Nikolaos
and of the reef to the NNE of the islet (reported to
be in position 38°28'.94N 20°40'.60E), but this is
no place to rely on electronic charts. You should
proceed slowly with someone up front looking out.
A goodly number of yachts have come to grief here
charging around Ay Nikolaou. Proceed with caution
into the bay and anchor off in the NW corner.
Page89 Vathi (Ithaca)
Care needed of an underwater ledge on the quay
near the customs office.
Note In recent years yachts have had problems
berthing on the W quay. There are a lot of rumours
and misinformation around, but it seems the nub of
the problem is that the few berths that superyachts
can use on the quay are jealously guarded by an
‘agent’. Either berth elsewhere or anchor off.
Page 93 Fiskardho
Good shelter tucked onto the south quay. Places on
the N shore are beam on to the breeze and you
should ensure your anchor is dug in and holding
before taking a line ashore. In southerlies (possible
during summer thunderstorms) berths on the west
side and those anchored on the N shore become
uncomfortable and in strong southerlies untenable.
The problem with southerlies here is exacerbated by
the sheer numbers of boats visiting and if one boat
drags anchor there is a domino effect on others.
Page 95 Poros
Note Proceed cautiously into the harbour as parts of
it have silted. Usually the best course is to stay close
to the NW mole and head slowly for the west quay.
Part of the quay is used by a couple of tripper boats.

bollards are scarce here and you may need to jury rig
something.
Page 96 Kato Katelios
A new harbour, nearly completed, right on the cape
at the W end of the village at the W end of the bay.
It is very small and already local boats occupy a part
of it.
Approach
Care is needed in the approaches of above and below
water rocks. Further E in the bay there is an above
water rock and reef. Off the harbour itself there are
also several reefs and an above water rock. Make the
approach from the south on a northerly heading
with some care.
Mooring
Go stern or bows-to or alongside where possible. It
is likely that most berths will be occupied by local
boats when the harbour is complete. Shelter looks
good from the prevailing wind although some swell
does creep around into the bay.
Facilities
Water and electricity to be connected. Tavernas and
café in the village. Some provisions at a mini-market
on the road out of the village.
AY PELAGIA
F38°06'.10N 20°30'.97E WGS84
A new harbour under Ak Pelagia close to the airport.
Approach
Considerable care is needed in the approaches
because of the numerous above and below water
rocks. Some 500m SSE of the bay the harbour is
built in there is a line of above and below water
rocks. There are also above and below water rocks
off the coast. Make the approach from the SW on a
northeasterly course. Have someone up front
conning you in and proceed at slow speed.
Mooring
Go alongside the centre pier where possible. Depths
3–3.5m off the quay. Most berths are occupied by
local boats. Good shelter inside from the prevailing
winds. Southerlies cause a surge inside.
Facilities
Water. Otherwise there are no real facilities within
easy walking distance.
Argostoli
Once heading into the bay the large Hellenic Marine
Academy building and the cruise ship dock are easily
identified. Go stern or bows-to the west quay. Good
shelter from the prevailing wind in the lee of the
commercial quay. In fact good all round shelter as
easterlies kick up a bit of chop across the harbour,
uncomfortable rather than dangerous. Out of season
when there are fewer yachts you can go alongside.
The bottom is mud and generally good holding
although a bit soft in places.
Page 112 Ormos Keri
Anchoring is permitted at more than 100m from the
shore.

CHAPTER II.
THE SOUTHERN IONIAN
Page 116 Killini
Go stern or bows-to in the recently extended inner
basin. There is a 2.5m patch in the entrance to the
inner basin but once inside it has been dredged to
4m. Much of the basin is taken up with local boats.
There may be a space along the N side though drop
your anchor a fair way out as there are moorings
here. There may also be space about halfway along
the S quay keeping clear of the trawler quay at the E
end.
Services Water and electricity on the quay though
not all the boxes work.
Page 119 Kiparissia
The extension of the W breakwater to the NW now
means Kiparissia provides good shelter from the
prevailing winds. Go stern or bows-to the W quay or
alongside if there is room. You can also go alongside
the E breakwater though it is not as comfortable
here.

Good shelter although strong N–NE winds might

cause some surge inside.

Now the new NW extension protects you from the

prevailing W–NW winds it is an excellent stop on
the way up or down the western Peloponnese.

from the Forestry Department is prohibited and I’d
suggest that landing while the hunters are on the
island would be a dangerous sport to indulge in. In
the 1980s the island was stocked with wild goat (kri-
kri), wild sheep (mouflon), pheasant and grouse.
The Forestry Department determines the season and
the number of animals and birds which can be shot
under the license. The rest of the year the fauna are
allowed to get on with their lives.

Go stern or bows-to the quay on the N side of the
harbour. The quay has been widened over the old
ballast and depths are good even close to the quay.
There will often be one of several unofficial
‘harbourmasters’ on hand who will wave and shout,
direct you into a berth and take your lines. The
bottom is mud, rock and weed, not always the best
holding. Lay the anchor well over on the other side
of the harbour in the shoal water with plenty of
scope.

If approaching from the N care is needed of Nisidhes
Levkonisia, islets and reefs which extend for over
1M off the cape just 1M N of the bay. The largest
islet has a light (Fl(3)15s) which helps identification,
but reefs and shoal water extend some distance to
seaward of the islet.
PSAROPOULI
F38°59'.0N 23°22'.4E
A small fishing harbour at the N end of the long
sandy beach at Ormos Vasilikos, just 10M S of
Koukounaries on Skiathos. If approaching from the
N care is needed of Nisidhes Mermingonisia, an
umarked reef which lies about 1M E of Ak
Mavrikas. It is prudent to stay well out to seaward
of the reef as the rocks are impossible to see even in
calm weather. The harbour is often busy with small
fishing boats, but a yacht may find a berth stern-to
or alongside in the NE corner of the harbour. Some
provisions and tavernas ashore.
CHAPTER VII. NORTHERN GREECE
Page 361 Thessaloniki Traffic Separation Scheme
A new TSS in Thermaikos Gulf and Thessaloniki
Gulf was implemented in June 2009. Yachts should

The two pontoons in the N of the harbour are
usually full with local craft. Go alongside or stern or
bows-to on the S wave-breaker pontoon.

With strong S winds the wave-breaker will

undulate with some violence, and it is better not to
be alongside.
ORMOS ARMENISTIS
F40°09'.3N 23°55'.3E

Approach on a bearing of 240°, staying closer to the
S side of the passage.

The islet to starboard is marked with a beacon

(YB), no topmark, and the two islets to port are
marked with a short concrete post and a white pole.

In calm weather or light southerlies anchor off the

village of Vouvourou in 5m on sand. The bottom
comes up quickly from 5m to 2m or less and care is
needed to allow enough swinging room.

The village is mainly made up of hotels and

holiday homes, with a couple of mini-markets and
tavernas. No fuel.
Page 375 Pirgadhika
There is a new quay and long T-pontoon on the E
side of the bay, protected from southerlies by a short
mole. Go stern-to on the pontoon, where there are

around 20 berths, although you will be dropping
anchor in 20m or so. Alternatively go alongside and
be prepared to raft up if necessary. Water and
electricity to be installed.
Page 376 The Akti Peninsula
A 500m exclusion zone around the peninsula is
maintained for all vessels. Anchoring is not

The miniature harbour between Ak Nestor and
Lagos has been demolished and a new larger
harbour has been built around it.

Depths off the cape are shallow for some distance

off, and care must be taken of isolated rocks in the
shallows.
Dangers
1. There are numerous above and below water rocks
off the cape to the E. The approach from the SW is
shallow but free of dangers.
2. The remains of the old harbour lie just under the
surface in the middle of the harbour. On entering,
stay close to the NW breakwater.

Go stern or bows-to wherever you can find room

among the fishing boats and local small craft.

No facilities at the harbour.

Page 390 Fanarion
The channel is dredged regularly to 2.5–3m.
Ay Kharalambos
A new fishing harbour has been built over the site of
an old mole. There are reported to be 5–8m depths
in the approaches and 2–3m depths off the quay on
the N side. Care needed of the remains of the old
mole in the S of the harbour.

yachts, although it is also likely to be used for local
craft and small commercial ships.
Page 428 Evdhilos
Work is in progress in the harbour. The quay on the
mole is being widened, and a new concrete mole and
quay is under construction in the S of the harbour.
When completed this should offer better berths for
yachts.
Page 429 Ay Kirikos
Irregular depths in the inner harbour. Depths off the
end of the stub pier are less than one metre in places
where rocks make the bottom uneven. Towards the
root of both piers depths are less than 1m. There are
many permanent moorings in the harbour, although
visibility is good and you can usually see them when
laying your anchor. The bottom is sand and rock,
not everywhere good holding. The N mole is used by
trip boats and small ferries, and you will usually be
asked to move from here.
MANGANITIS
The harbour breakwater blends in with the rock of
the coastline, and it is difficult to identify the
harbour until you are almost up to the entrance.

The church, with twin belfries and a cupola, in the

village and a large white villa above the harbour are
conspicuous. With the prevailing northerlies
blowing there will be strong gusts off the land in the
approaches and inside the harbour and a
considerable surge is set up. With even light
southerlies the harbour is untenable. Unfortunately
this really is a place to visit in calm weather only.

Both above and below water rocks extend out

from the coast outside and inside the harbour; on
entry stay closer to the breakwater. Go alongside
where convenient. The quay is quite high and yachts
with low freeboard will be more than a metre below
the quay. The Ay Kirikos – Karkinagri ferry moors
alongside here for a couple of nights a week and you
will need to move if you are obstructing their berth.

The ferry has large rope and chain warps to hold her
well off the quay. Having been in here and
experienced the severe surge along the breakwater
which accompanies a good blow, the reason for such
robust precautions become clear. There are plans to
lay some yacht moorings ready for the 2011 season,
which will give more yacht berths, and should make
berths more tenable, at least in light northerlies.

Water near the quay. The summer opening tavena

café ‘Sto Gialo’ overlooks the harbour offers simple
local food and is a popular focal point for the
village. A small shop nearby has limited stocks.
Page 430 Karlovasi
The area near the yacht berths is liable to silt, as
ferries using the adjacent berth push sand along the
quay. Regular dredging takes place, but depths in the
corner can go down to less than 2m. It is likely that
ferries will eventually use the new quay in the SE
corner, which may alleviate the problem.

The new basin is full of local craft and it is

unlikely a visitor would find a berth here.
Services Water and electricity boxes on the quay, but
not all are connected.
Page 434 Samos Marina
There is not much space between the piers making
some of the inner berths difficult to get into, but
marina staff are usually on hand to help.

The afternoon breeze blows in through the marina

from the east, which keeps things cool, but also
blows beam on to yachts attempting to slot into a
berth.
Page 436 Fournoi
To the N of the town is a new quayed area where a
yacht may find room to go stern-to on the outer part

A mole on the N side of the bay provides shelter

for local boats, but there is no quay and little room
for yachts.
Page 483 Skala Astipalaia
Go stern or bows-to on the new mole. There are
good depths right along the quay. Make sure your
anchor is holding as the wind gusts down across the
mole. Larger yachts can berth stern-to on the ferry
quay, but may have to move if other commercial
ships arrive.

Shelter behind the mole is good, although strong S

winds create a surge, more uncomfortable than
dangerous.

Page 223 Sambateki
A new harbour has been built under the natural
hook of the cape with the same name, just under 3M
north of Leonidhion.

Pilotage
Approach
From the N the harbour will not be seen until you
come around Ak Sambateki. From the S the cape
and the harbour are easy to identify.
Mooring
Berth stern or bows-to near the end of the new quay
where there are depths of 2–4m. Further along the
quay depths close in to the quay are less than 1m
and you will need to go bows-to, although some
berths are taken by local craft. Good shelter from
the prevailing winds, and better shelter from
southerlies than you’ll find at Leonidhion.
Facilities
Services No services on the quay, but water is
available at the taverna.
Provisions A mini-market is due to open.
Eating out A couple of tavernas on the beach.
Page 227 Monemvasia marina
The gradual decline of this ‘marina’ was arrested last
year, and is now a much easier and safer proposition
for visiting yachts. The breakwater has been
extended, the decrepit pontoons have been removed,
and a new concrete jetty has been completed to
enclose the N side, with new quays all round. Yachts
berth stern or bows-to inside the harbour on the N
or S quays. Good shelter in here, although there is
still a bit of surge with strong N-NE winds. Work is
continuing, possibly to develop the phase two
project as shown in the plan.

on the S shore (lit Fl.R).

Go stern or bows-to the new jetty with depths of

2–4m, or anchor behind in 3–4m, or outside the jetty
in 4–7m. With N winds you still need to leave.
Ormos Milos
F39°09'·5N 23°50'·9E
2M SW of O.Megali Ammos. Lunch stop. Good
shelter from S winds. Not tenable with meltemi.

on the shore. 20 mins walk up hill to Alonnisos
Chora.
Ormos Vasiliko
The bay has been cleaned up and the old ferry has
been removed, although there is a wreck of a cargo
vessel in the bay to the west of Vasiliko. The foul
area, in depths of less than 5m, is crossed by several
cables running N–S, and a large anchor.
Page 351 Stenon Valaxa
Use a bearing of 068° on the church at Linaria to
guide you through the centre of the passage in
depths of 4m.
Page 353 Linaria
There is room on the SE quay for 4–5 yachts stern-
to, with depths close in of 3–4m. Otherwise go
alongside a fishing boat with their agreement. Fuel
in the town. Water on the quay is not available – try
in a taverna.
Page 366 Khalkidiki plan
Porto Carras should be marked on the plan just 1M
S of Nea Marmaras.
Page 368 Ak Posidhion
39°57'·2N 23°21'·2E
A useful anchorage offering good shelter from light
SE-NE winds on the N side of the cape. Anchor
where convenient in 3–8m off the beach on sand,
good holding.
Nea Skioni
The light on the S breakwater has been removed.
The N mole has been extended by 50m and
improves the shelter here. Fuel on the quay.
Hardware shop in the village.
Nea Marmaras
The two pontoons are usually full of local craft. Go
alongside or stern or bows-to on the S wave-breaker
pontoon. With strong S winds this pontoon will
undulate with some violence, and it is better not to
be alongside.

marked with a beacon (YB) no topmark, and the
two islets to port are marked with a short concrete
post and a white pole.

The village of Vurvuru on the shores of Ormos

Mesopanayia is mainly made up of hotels and
second homes, with a couple of mini-markets, and
no fuel. Anchor off the village in 5m on sand. The
bottom comes up quickly from 5m to less than 2m,
and care is needed to allow enough swinging room.
Page 375 Pirgadhikia
40°20'·13N 23°43'·21E WGS84
The small port now has a new quay and T-pontoon
off the village, with protection from the SE by a new
mole.
