Yachts can no longer berth in the old harbor and must use the marina on the southern side of the headland, Ak Mavros Kavos (maximum LOA 50 meters/165 ft).
The marina offers good shelter in all conditions, although in strong northerlies there does tend to be a surge inside the marina. Latest reports, however (see this report) are that the marina has made good efforts to combat this.
Berth where directed, picking up a tailed mooring line and proceeding bows/stern-to the quay. Depths from three - eight meters (9.8ft - 26 ft).
The marina has all the usual services including laundry on site, travel hoist, lots of hard standing, daily weather reports, boat & sail repairs etc.
There are chandleries in town with limited stock. Close to the marina entrance is the beach with cafes & restaurants and there are shops of all kinds within a few minutes walk. The local hospital is one km (0.6 miles) away.

A good place to leave your yacht for a period of time. Charges are reasonable, toilets and showers are well maintained, staff are friendly and its quiet at night according to cruiser reports.
C&N Marinas are developing a new marina and resort just north of here at Elounda. Completion of Phase 1 is expected by 2026.
