An almost deserted pebble beach framed by big rock formations, just north of Moutsouna, looking out to the Makares islets and Donousa.
Practical
Sailingissues: 'a delight in westerlies and southerlies', with good holding in sand off an almost deserted pebble beach. Greeka: the seabed is mostly sand with a few large rocks, and it is a popular fishing spot. No facilities. Open to the north-east, so not a meltemi anchorage.
Best for
Peaceful anchorage in W-S winds
Season
Westerlies and southerlies
