Sailing to Aegina: Your Guide to the Port of Aegina

Port of Aegina: 37°44’38.7″N 23°25’38.8″E

Located on the northwest side of Aegina Island, the port offers:

• Max Draft: 2.4m
• Max Length: 40m

Approach

The town stands out as you approach. Take care, as the approach is shallow (5-6m), and a reef stretches in front of the entrance to the port from NW to SE with a red buoy at the SE end.

Mooring

Go stern to the town quay. It is very busy during the season, so good shelter is important. Ensure your anchor is holding as the bottom consists of sand, rocks, and weed. Note that visiting yachts are not permitted to berth at Aigina Marina.

Anchorage

You can anchor south of the port in 3-6m on mud, sand, and weed, which provides good holding. Be aware that ferries create a lot of wash. Expect not to get a spot if you arrive mid-afternoon. If bad weather necessitates getting inside at night, the ferry dock on the left as you enter the harbor is available after about 7 pm. However, you will need to leave by 6 am. There is also an anchorage just outside the harbor.

• Fuel: No station in the port. For service, call +306932625501. Fuel is available by mini tanker at +302297022708.
