Ermones Bay Day Anchorage

39° 36.6′ N · 19° 46.3′ E · approximate

A small west-coast bay north of Glyfada — a short stop for a swim off the gravel beach, with a hotel beach bar and taverna ashore.

Practical

Coordinate approx: in the middle of the bay about 450 m off the beach (OSM beach and coastline). The seabed is large stones with some fine sand (Greeka) — look for a sand patch, and expect poor holding on rock. Waves are frequent here (Greeka): it is fully open to the west and only usable in calm or easterly weather. The beach is often crowded; hotel beach bar and taverna ashore; a boat-rental base operates from the beach (OSM). Day stop only.

Best for

A quick swim stop in flat calm on the west coast
