noforeignland users rate 'Ormos Pyrgonoisi' 4.8/5: favourable conditions, good holding in sand, depth up to 3.5 m, clear water, spacious, tavernas nearby. Sailing Issues warns it is windy, with rocky ledges and strong northerly gusts, and that the notorious Katergo mud-and-rock reef, marked by a lit south-cardinal beacon (OpenSeaMap), lies ESE of the islet; it is missing from the Greek Waters Pilot but shown on Garmin and EagleRay charts. Pin from the Sailing Issues map. (Often listed under Milos; Pyrgonisi is off Kimolos.)
