Anchorage· Kea (Tzia)· Greece — Cyclades
Orkos Bay (Kea)
37° 36.6′ N · 24° 23.2′ E · approximate
A small beach bay on Kea's east coast at the foot of Kea Trail 11 from Profitis Ilias. It is out of the way, with a few houses and no services.
Practical
No pilot-book anchoring data was verified for Orkos. Treat it as a settled-weather or lunch stop, sound your way in and check the bottom before relying on it. Like Spathi it faces east, so expect downslope gusts in a meltemi and exposure to easterlies. Trail 11 'Orkos' (4.2 km) descends to the beach from Profitis Ilias. The coordinate is approximate, set about 250 m east of the OpenStreetMap Orkos beach feature (37.6091 N, 24.3854 E) to be in the water.
