Run by the Municipal Port Fund of Syros: about 100 yacht berths (70 sail, 30 motor) on roughly 260 m of quay, mostly on the northern stretch of the harbour; keep the ferries to port as you enter. Quay depths 4.5 m (section A6-A7) and 8 m (A7-A8). Berth stern-to on your own anchor. YACHT (Aug 2025) advises at least 7x depth in chain, a well-set anchor, about 1.5 m between boats, and lifting the passerelle whenever you leave the boat. Ferries run day and night in summer and their wash surges along the quay. Shelter: the Port Fund says it is protected from almost all weather except south-easterlies; meltemi gusts and swell still make it rolly, though a Grecosailor review reports lying safely to the wall in a 30 kn SW wind. Harbourmaster Athanasios (Thanasis) Loudaros +30 693 264 4072 helps with berths and lines and collects power and water fees. Port office 22810-82336, contact@portofsyros.gr, open 8am-1pm and 5pm-10pm; showers 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm. Call the Port Authority on VHF 12 before entering; Grecosailor lists the quay attendant on VHF 10 (verify). Port Fund of Syros berthing for private yachts is an annual rate per metre divided by 365: 7.01-10 m EUR 150/m, 10.01-15 m EUR 170/m, 15.01 m+ EUR 200/m (so a 12 m yacht is about EUR 5.59/night), plus 25% for side-to (alongside) berthing, plus 24% VAT. Water and power, first day: up to 13 m EUR 12 (200 L water, 2 kW, one shower); 13.01-15 m and catamarans EUR 15 (400 L, 2 kW, one shower); after that prepaid cards EUR 2.20 + VAT per 150 L or 2 kW (13% VAT on these services).
