Mooring in the old harbour in front of the town is no longer permitted, and yachts must berth in the marina, about 3.2 kms (two miles) north of the town. While this is a long way from town (it's advisable if you don't have bikes to hire a motorbike or car so you can get to town easily), there is plenty of space for berthing and more peaceful than being moored in the centre of the town.
The marina can be easily spotted as normally there are cruise ships tied up to the outer quay. Yachts berth in the eastern basin.
Warning: Be aware of strong gusts in this harbor with the Meltemi (up to F10!), normal winds in harbor are about 15-20KNS. Strong gusts can make mooring here rather difficult.
Go alongside or stern-to where you can find a suitable spot. During the summer months, there is a "Harbour Master" here who will advise you where to berth. Visiting yachts mainly berth in the southern part of the marina.
To get a berth in the marina, you must contact the Harbor Master at least 24 hours in advance, preferably by SMS (contact details and required information are listed below).
It is recommended to use the laid mooring lines provided. Problems can be encountered when using an anchor here as there are large mooring chains running parallel to the dock.
The marina has water and electricity points, although not all are reported to work. Fuel delivered daily by truck.
