Avaptisto West Anchorage (Arki)
37° 21.9′ N · 26° 44.8′ E
A narrow, swell-free slot on the west side of Avaptisto islet — take a line to the islet.
Practical
Solid holding in sand; hardly any swell; narrow with limited swinging room — use a second anchor or a stern line to the islet with the stern pointing NE. Hidden rocks in the swing circle; poorly charted; frequent fishing-boat and tender traffic N–S. Strong meltemi with a westerly component puts stern lines abeam — prefer Makronisi or Avaptisto SE then (Sailing Issues).
Best for
Snug spot for experienced crews
