Glyfa Bay Anchorage (Antiparos)

37° 0.4′ N · 25° 4.6′ E

A quiet sandy bay on Antiparos's east coast, about 3.5 km south of the Chora, looking across the strait to Paros.

Practical

mySea logs 2-4 m over sand with good holding, 'lovely anchorage in untouched natural surroundings'. Antiparos.com describes a quiet, family-friendly sand beach with a few trees, no longer serviced, so bring supplies. Sheltered from the west and from the meltemi by the island, but in the shallow south part of the strait, so watch the depth and nearby rocks and islets (Kampana, Tourna). Position from the mySea entry.

Best for

Peaceful lunch or night on the strait side of Antiparos
