The position is approximate, set off the OpenStreetMap village node. Check it on your chart. Odyssey Sailing lists Milina, Horto and Kottes among the south-east gulf anchorages, a few hours from Volos. Grecosailor says provisioning and fuel for Alatas are in Milina or Trikeri. The best-documented holding nearby is at the two Alatas anchorages. Ashore are the ruins of ancient Olizon at Agios Andreas, the Zoodochos Pigi monastery on Prasouda and the Agioi Saranta monastery on Alatas (Greek Wikipedia). Chorto, a smaller beach hamlet, is 2 km north.
