Anchorage· Lesvos· Greece — Dodecanese, Sporades & North Aegean
Pamfila Bay (Lesvos)
39° 9.7′ N · 26° 32.0′ E
A bay on the east coast a few miles north of Mytilene with crystal-clear water and a mud bottom.
Practical
Straightforward approach from the south-east, even at night. Thick mud with weed patches gives excellent holding but clings to the anchor on retrieval; one crew anchored in 4.5 m. Decent meltemi protection (the afternoon northerly felt lighter than outside) but exposed to NE, E and SE.
Best for
Quiet night close to Mytilene
Season
Northerlies; open to NE–SE
