Paralia Kardamyla Anchorage

38° 32.5′ N · 26° 7.0′ E

Anchorage off the beach at the head of Kardamyla bay, SE of the Marmaro jetty.

Practical

Sand and seagrass; pick sandy patches, not too close to the beach (Grecosailor). Good protection from a moderate meltemi — the swell is much reduced this far into the bay. Light southerly katabatic breezes can arrive at night even after a northerly day; set for a swing.

Best for

Free alternative to the Marmaro quay
