Approach

Agios Nikolaos Bay is on the northern end of Zakynthos. You can enter from either side of the islet. Care is needed due to the reef & shoal on the north entrance. There can be a current of up to 4 knots running SE of the islet on the northern tip of Zakynthos.

Mooring

You can go stern on the southern side of the bay or to the north of the ferry quay. The ferry quay changes depending on the weather. The depth drops off quickly in the bay.

Anchoring

Anchoring in the bay can be uncomfortable due to many trip boats, ferry wash, and swell entering the bay. Could you make sure your anchor is well set?
