Practical
SailingIssues: open to SE through NW winds; violent gusts from the NE possible; anchor in a shallow 4-5 m for the best holding in sand; it was possible to go stern-to the rectangular quay on the north side (pin). Strong northerlies bring an uncomfortable swell -- instead of lying at right angles, point the bow out towards the sea. Tinosecret: anchoring for small boats at the little harbour; beware N/NW winds. Several tavernas and a bar ashore. Walk 2 km uphill to Ysternia village.
Best for
Lunch stop and marble villages on the SW coast
