Logistics & Technical

The main harbor offers well-sheltered berths from the meltemi, though strong north-northeast winds can generate a noticeable surge. The bathymetry transitions rapidly from deep offshore waters to shallower coastal shelves, requiring careful monitoring of the depth sounder. The seabed composition is predominantly a mix of sand, mud, and areas covered with Posidonia oceanica seagrass, providing moderate to good holding ground depending on the specific anchorage. Coastal navigation requires vigilance near the northern capes due to unpredictable current variations and rocky shoals extending offshore.
