Varvarousa Bay (Syros)

37° 28.1′ N · 24° 53.7′ E · approximate

A small cove behind Varvarousa islet on the wild north-west coast. It is known locally for spearfishing.

Practical

Coordinate is approx: it sits between Varvarousa islet and Varvarousa beach (OSM); no guide gives an anchor position or depth. aegeanislands.gr names it as a good spearfishing spot on the round-island route. Approach in good light and sound in; no facilities. North-west coast bays are steep-sided and gusty in a meltemi. Spearfishing in Greece is breath-hold only, daylight only, with no scuba; check the current rules.
