Coordinates: sailingissues' Riva marker, just off the quay (OSM pier at 36.4541 N 25.3440 E); the previous coordinate here was on land and has been corrected. Exposed to NW-NE and SE-S winds, so it is a calm-weather or light-westerly stop. Local moorings may be available: ask Captain Nikos at the Agkistri Taverna just north of the ferry pier (+30 22860 29084). From the quay it is about 45 minutes on foot to Agrilia, Manolas or Potamos. Rocks off the northern tip of Thirasia (OpenSeaMap, around 36.458 N 25.345 E): approach in daylight. Riva is one of 12 port zones of the Municipal Port Fund of Thira.
