Access | South of Serifos island | |||
Draught | <5m in the NW, but quickly increasing to 10/15m; <3-5m in the NE with a more regular slope | ||||
Description | |||||
Anchorage | In the NW, the best place is between the beach and the construction for mineral loading. But careful, the holding is poor: soft mud and seawed with hard sand. In front of the beach, fixed mooring buoys oblige to anchor at 8-10m, same holding.
The NE bay, "Vayia", is much wider but under direct NE wind and with a NW wind that blows stronger. Both places are open to the South sector. Quite permanent swell. Not advised by night with strong wind. |

Victualling | |||||
Various svces | Setting | This baie has some charm for those who like industrial remains, testimony of a human activity that is quickly damaging. It is not very crowded and yacht prefer to sail directly to Livadhi. |
NOTE : Old place of the mining company that went to Mega Livadhi in 1890. The shore is a real gruyère, pierced with galeries to extract magnetite. This curious mineral is a very heavy stone that looks like a rusted metal block. |
