Practical

Aegean Islands guide lists it as an anchorage. Depth shelves gently (shallow water per Greeka), so anchor off the swimmer buoys in sand. Open to the south. Mini-markets back the beach (OSM 37.41493, 25.34131), along with many restaurants and watersports. Wikivoyage: small fishing boats carry tourists to the southern beaches, and Delos and Rineia excursions and glass-bottom boat trips also leave from here. Mind the constant caique traffic. Position is approximate, set about 300 m south of the beach point Greeka maps (37.41418, 25.34405).
