Practical

Greeka: coarse sand and pebbles, warm shallow water and mostly sheltered from wind, no facilities, crowded in summer; the three stone breakwaters (groynes) that protect the canal entrance are just offshore. Sailingissues.com notes the groynes were built in 2015 and are marked by three yellow buoys. A burning motor yacht was towed into the shallows here in September 2026 and the bridge briefly closed to boats (ilefkada.gr).
