Practical

Up to 20 boats in season but room for only about 5 swinging; anchor in 4–9 m, good holding in sand and mud. Seabed littered with debris and old mooring blocks/ropes — use a tripline. The mooring buoys off the beach have been gone since 2022. Landing pier near the restaurant (Sailing Issues). Grecosailor: sand/seagrass in 8 m, firm hold. Dilaila is closed roughly October 1 to June 1 and becomes a loud night club a couple of times a week.
