Logistics & Technical

The anchorage areas primarily feature a seabed composed of thick sand and patches of seagrass (Posidonia oceanica), providing excellent holding ground. However, caution is advised regarding the seasonal southerly swells. The main harbor offers substantial protection, though the entrance requires precise navigation due to silting risks near the river mouth. Northern quadrants offer the best shelter against prevailing Etesian winds.
