Lies on the island’s NE tip, this is a safe and attractive port and very popular. In season come early to pick up your space. Mainly there is a good depth and good holding, but be careful not to release too much chain to avoid crossing anchors.

The ruined stone lighthouses on the N side of the bay can be seen upon approach. On the NE some new builds and on the S and W many hotels and tavernas. You can go stern or bow-to on the S or W quays. Do not berth in the SW as it is reserved for local boats. The bay is Very crowded during the summer time, but then you can anchor at the entrance to the bay (within some distance of the ferry dock), with a long line to the N shore, in sand rocks and weed with reasonable holding. Depths are 2-4 m.

The bay offers excellent shelter from the prevailing winds coming in from the NW, however in summer there may be strong southerly winds making anchoring to the N shore and the W berths uncomfortable.

There are facilities all around, and mooring is quite cheap. Water & electricity connections are to be found at some berths on the quays. Divers are available.
