Porto Katsiki Day Anchorage

38° 36.1′ N · 20° 32.9′ E

The open roadstead off Porto Katsiki beach on Lefkada's exposed west coast.

Practical

Anchor only in calm conditions on sand and stone (moderate holding), with a trip line; rocks above and below water near the cliffs are mostly easy to see in the clear water; never leave the boat unattended and leave before the afternoon wind builds (my-sea). Dangerous in winds from S through NW. Combine with the Cape Lefkatas rounding only in settled weather.
