39° 6.4′ N · 23° 39.6′ E · approximate

Blo is the deep inner anchorage of Panormos Bay — the natural harbour skopelos.com and Helm single out as well protected in all weathers.

Practical

Position is Sailing Issues' anchoring marker for the south cove of Panormos, used because skopelos.com places Blo within Panormos; confirm on the chart. Deep water: anchor with lines ashore as for Panormos (see that entry), watching for the wreck that can foul anchors in the southern arm. About 10 nm from Skiathos (Helm).

Best for

Overnight shelter on day 1 out of Skiathos
