Vari Bay (Syros)

A wide sandy bay on the south coast with a beach village. It is a quiet southern lee from the meltemi and the classic first stop south of Ermoupoli.
Practical
Sailingissues: anchor in 4-5 m on good sand at 37.38745N 24.94787E, avoiding the shallows to the north; Giosifaki taverna is on the north-east beach. Grecosailor reviewers (near 37.3898N 24.9443E) report good holding and good protection. They warn that the small quay is too shallow for sailboats and that you need a long hose for water. A small grocery store is nearby. George Yachts recommends it in north winds. Exposed to the south. Achladi cove and fishing harbour lie just west.
