Navy Bay / Bay of Poros Anchorage
37° 30.3′ N · 23° 27.0′ E
The wide inner bay between Poros town, Galatas and the wooded south shore of Kalavria, where most cruising boats anchor to escape the quay wash and fees. The Greek naval training base sits on its east shore, and the town is a short dinghy ride away.
