Agia Irini Bay (Paros)

37° 3.5′ N · 25° 6.5′ E

A heart-shaped bay with a beach and a chapel on Paros's west coast, just north of the Antiparos channel. It makes a handy staging point before threading the shallow strait south.

Practical

Sailingissues: anchor in the north cove. The inner seabed rises sharply, the south cove is under 2 m, and there is a shoal directly under the Agia Irini church. mySea logs sand and weed with good holding, and lists a restaurant about 200 m away. Open to the west. Position from the Sailingissues anchorage marker; mySea's marker is within 100 m.

Best for

Lunch stop or staging point before the Antiparos channel
