Psoradia South Anchorage (Kastellorizo)
36° 9.0′ N · 29° 35.9′ E
An anchorage in the outer bay just east of the harbour entrance, in the lee of Psoradia, where you can swing to your own anchor in good holding instead of lying on the crowded quay.
Practical
Position: Grecosailor 36°09'01.8"N 29°35'52.8"E. A Grecosailor reviewer anchored in 13 m with 30 m of chain and found the holding excellent: sand in the middle and entrance, rock further out. It lies next to the Mandraki anchorage (see that entry), where mySea reports soft mud and dead weed with good to very good holding. Grecosailor warns that the meltemi funnels through the area and the harbour can surge. You still need to complete entry formalities: the coast guard visits anchored yachts (see 'Kastellorizo Port of Entry status').
Best for
Swinging at anchor a dinghy ride from town
Season
May–Oct; the meltemi funnels through
