Great Anchorages on the East Coast of Lefkada

Nydri & Tranquil Bay

Coordinates: 38° 42′ 8″ N, 20° 42′ 47″ E

Tranquil Bay offers a peaceful anchorage with mud and weed at the bottom. You can anchor and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Vicho

Coordinates: 38° 41′ 11″ N, 20° 42′ 15″ E

Vicho is a landlocked bay with good shelter. The bottom is mud and weed; you can anchor in several places.

Sivota

Coordinates: 38° 37′ 24″ N, 20° 41′ 0″ E

Located on the SE corner of the island, if there is room, go stern to the NE pontoon or anchor in the bay. The bay offers good shelter; with the prevailing wind, there are gusts, so make sure the anchor is well set.

Vasiliki

Coordinates: 38° 37′ 36″ N, 20° 36′ 26″ E

Vasiliki offers a new marina and good shelter on the south coast, although the wind tends to blow into the harbour, attracting many windsurfers. It is a growing charter base with companies overflowing the available berthing capacity, making space restricted and unlikely to improve. It is also a popular port for spending the winter months, either in or out of the water.

Porto Katsiki

Coordinates: 38° 35′ 51″ N, 20° 32′ 55″ E

Porto Katsiki is the most impressive of all the beaches in Lefkada, with an extraordinary natural landscape.
