Sailing Issues: if all berths are taken you can safely anchor in 6–8 m near the swimming buoys at Tourkikos Gialos. Coordinate is derived from the OpenStreetMap beach and coastline (a point in the water off the beach, not surveyed). The small fishing shelter 'Tourkikou Gialou' is at 39.87436, 25.05967.
