Arkos Islet anchorage (off Skiathos)

39° 9.0′ N · 23° 30.9′ E

A small islet off Skiathos' south-east coast whose bay has clear, fish-filled water — a pretty lunch stop near town.

Practical

Good holding in sand at 4–5 m. Most shelter from N, NE, SE and NW; avoid strong S and SW. MarinaTips advises against overnighting because winds shift regularly with the meltemi. Coordinates from MarinaTips at 2-decimal precision.
