Klima Bay (Peristera)

39° 11.4′ N · 23° 58.7′ E

A bay on the east side of Peristera's isthmus whose south-west cove has low cliffs, turquoise water and a freshwater spring ashore.

Practical

Only the SW cove is regularly used: no dangers on approach, but the bottom rises suddenly near the pebble beach; good in all but N–ENE; untenable in a meltemi. The SE cove takes one yacht lengthwise with lines ashore; the north cove seems unsuitable. Prevailing NE winds bring debris and logs ashore. Underwater fishing is allowed in Klima bay as an exception (Sailing Issues).

Best for

Turquoise water in non-northerly weather
