Once into Kolpos Aetou (Gulf of Milo), you’ll see a chapel on Ak Ay Andreou and a small island at the entrance to Port Vathi.

Mooring

You can anchor in the bay or go stern to the quay, though it can be noisy on the quay. You can also anchor in the middle of the bay. It gets very busy during the season. The bottom is a mix of sand, weed, and mud.
