Aetos Bay (Syros)

37° 28.4′ N · 24° 53.9′ E

A steep-sided bay on the north-west coast with room for only one or two boats. Sailingissues calls its surroundings 'marvellous'.

Practical

Grecosailor reviewers (this position): 5 m on sand, good holding, steep sides, room for one or two boats. Sailingissues says the best spot is the northern Sarakiniko cove, at about 37.4804N 24.8981E. The Schizomenes rocks lie just north (aegeanislands.gr), so give them a wide berth. No facilities.

Best for

Private-feeling lunch or overnight stop
