20€ per night including water and electricity for a 47 catamaran. Anchor on South or SW quay. We put 30m of chain, but I doubt it would hold well with cross wind. Ferry docks between sailboats. When we arrived, the ferry had one line crossing the whole SW quay so it was impossible to go there. Another cargo was unloading bulk materials, with trucks passing in front of the small marina: very noisy and polluted at this time! Can be stinky when swell goes in, water not very clean. There is assistance on arrival, they will give you an extended power cord if necessary, and let you use there long water hose if you don't have the good length. Good choice of tavernas, taxis and car rental to visit the island. Not the best spot but if conditions are ok you can go. Not a good shelter. Welcoming people.

3/5Port repaired with still mooring lines aft. Water, electricity and ground assistance. Taverns market and pharmacy. Do not miss a visit to the Monastery and the Chora by renting the car.
Porto riparato con ancora cime d'ormeggio a poppa. Acqua, corrente e assistenza a terra. Taverne market e farmacia. Non perdetevi una visita al Monastera e alla Chora affittando l'auto.
5/5Mooring on the southern quay, in the easternmost place, with 4m of bottom. With just 13 knots of crosswind I realize that the anchor does not hold: having given almost 40m of chain I wear a mask and fins and I go to see what the problem is. The anchor is perfectly placed inside the mud but does not grip, even pushing it deeply by hand continues to plow. I tell my wife to pull up a chain and miraculously after about ten meters she finds an area of sand where she grabs. I decide to stay only because the weather is very favorable but I do not recommend it in case of strong wind
Ormeggio sulla banchina sud, nel posto più a est, con 4m di fondo. Con appena 13 nodi di vento al traverso mi accorgo che l'ancora non tiene: avendo dato quasi 40m di catena indosso maschera e pinne e vado a vedere qual'è il problema. L'ancora è messa perfettamente dentro al fango ma non fa presa, anche spingendola a fondo a mano continua ad arare. Dico a mia moglie di tirare su catena e miracolosamente dopo una decina di metri trova un area di sabbia dove agguanta. Decido di rimanere solo perchè il meteo è molto favorevole ma lo sconsiglio in caso di vento forte
