Panermos West Coves (Naxos)

36° 57.4′ N · 25° 31.8′ E

Two tiny, uncharted coves west of Panermos that sailingissues suggests as a refuge in strong northerlies, with room for one or two boats and a line ashore.

Practical

Sailingissues: there is no room to swing, so take a second anchor or a line ashore. West anchorage at this position. West 2 (36.95660, 25.52107) has sand, weed and rock. Uncharted, so approach slowly with a bow lookout. Spedo beach (OSM 36.95472, 25.50782) lies further west. Nothing ashore.

Best for

Tucked-in shelter from strong northerlies

Season

Strong N winds; settled otherwise
