Parianos Bay (Pano Koufonisi)

36° 56.1′ N · 25° 35.5′ E

A small fishing harbour and bay just north-west of the main port, home to the Aneplora fish taverna.

Practical

The basin is usually full of local fishing boats and too shallow for larger yachts; most yachts avoid it (sailingissues). If there is room, use a trip line: the bottom is rocky and full of permanent and temporary moorings. Ask the locals, who are very accommodating. Prevailing gusts come from the north. In calm conditions drop anchor outside the mole and dine at Aneplora (tel. +30 22851 00019, aneplora.gr). Position is the OpenSeaMap/OSM anchorage outside the mole.
