Anchorage· Santorini (Thira)· Greece — Cyclades
Vourvoulos Anchorage (Santorini)
36° 26.4′ N · 25° 27.2′ E
An open roadstead off a pebble beach on the northeast coast below Vourvoulos village.
Practical
Grecosailor: hard sand; one crew's anchor did not dig in deeply, and holding is good only while the wind stays on the axis of the initial set. Greeka warns of strong winds and large waves here. It faces NE, so it is a westerly-weather spot only and no use in a meltemi.
Best for
Light westerlies only
Season
Only in W or light winds
