Fokiotrypa (Fokiada) Cove (Skyros)

38° 50.8′ N · 24° 31.7′ E

A small cove on the west side of the Linaria peninsula, just outside the harbour, named on the map as Fokiotrypa beach.

Practical

Sand and seagrass. A sailor rates the shelter excellent but found the anchor hard to set in the weed; not recommended in strong wind (Grecosailor). Use a sand patch and dive on the anchor. No facilities — Linaria is the nearest village.
