Sounion North-West Anchorage
37° 39.4′ N · 24° 1.0′ E
The western side of Sounion bay, a little further from the beach bars and the day-tripper crowd under the temple.
Practical
The seabed is sand and weed, with holding mySea and SailingIssues both describe as moderate to poor. SailingIssues says taking a line ashore can help. mySea gives depths of 2–10 m. This is SailingIssues' NW waypoint. Same N gusts as the rest of the bay. Choose it when the NE corner is full. Dinghy to the beach jetty (about 0.6 nm) for the tavernas.
