SailingIssues: 'superb snorkeling along this reef but also in Skala itself', and warns of a dangerous reef running about 500 m from Cape Sykamia, so approach Skala with care and keep a lookout. Anchor as in the Skala Cove entry. Open to the north: a calm-day stop. Coordinate is approximate: placed in Skala cove near its anchorage position (37.20348 N, 24.47598 E); the reef extends from Cape Sykamia.
