Agia Kyriaki Karnagio (Traditional Boatyard)

39° 5.6′ N · 23° 4.2′ E · approximate

The renowned karnagio of Agia Kyriaki, where wooden boats (mainly fishing caiques) are still built and repaired by hand on the beach.

Practical

Greek Wikipedia and Wikivoyage describe it as a working yard for fishing boats. It is not a yacht service, but worth a look, and the place to ask about emergency woodwork or local mechanics. For yacht haul-out and spares, go to Volos. The position is approximate, at the harbour.
