Leros - Docking

With the Meltemi, there are strong gusts off the high land in the approaches to Ormos Lakki as well as a confused sea.

The Port of Lakki (Porto Lago) is now very well protected by a new seawall.

Marinas

There are two marinas here, on each side at the head of the Lakki Bay and both are close to the town.

Leros Marina is well sheltered and is to starboard as you enter (37° 07.7'N, 26° 51.4'E) and Lakki Marina is to port (37° 07.8'N, 26° 50.9'E).

Anchorages

Some boats anchor in the basin between Lakki and Leros marinas and the seaside of the commercial dock.

Good shelter can be found in the anchorage at Lepida on the eastern side of the bay, just north of the naval base.

On the eastern side of the island, (across from Lakki Bay) at Pandeli Bay is a good sheltered harbor as well as an anchorage - good holding in six - seven meters (19 - 22 ft).

The anchorage at Partheni, on the northern tip of the island, in the bay to the east by the village, is well sheltered. There is a boatyard here run by Agmar Marine, with a travel lift, which makes this bay not as tranquil as it once was. This yard is conveniently located next to the airstrip.

Xirokampos, at the southern end of the island, also provides good shelter. Mooring buoys have been removed so only anchoring is now possible. Take care with the remaining concrete blocks and lines if you anchor. No provisioning available.
