Bourtzi Islet (Poros)
37° 29.4′ N · 23° 28.5′ E
A tiny fortified islet off the south-east entrance of the Poros channel, one of a string of islets (Bourtzi, Lazareto, Arvanitis, Stavros) that you pass on the way in from Hydra.
Practical
OpenStreetMap: Bourtzi fortification at 37.49038N 23.47488E; neighbouring islets Lazareto 37.49011N 23.47048E and Arvanitis 37.49112N 23.46968E. The Eagleray text on the Poros Port Fund site warns that rocks above and below water make the strait between the mainland at Plaka and Lazareto islet impassable, so pass outside (north of) the islets and follow the buoyed Poros channel.
