There is now a website for the marinas and ports on the whole of Evia. It now has an island-wide computer system covering all the tourist anchorages as well as additional information useful when cruising around the island. See http://olne.gr/en/
It is also possible to buy a card giving access to the new water and electricity pedestals located at various anchorages around the island.
There are few safe, sheltered anchorages on the west coast south of Khalkis (Chalcis) and even fewer north of it.
Limni
25 kms (15.5 miles) northwest of Khalkis is the very attractive, small protected harbour of Limni. It is possible to berth inside the harbour which has a very narrow entrance and requires some tight maneuvering. The colour coding system used in Khalkis is also used here (red for visiting yachts - easily seen in the photo) and there are a handful of alongside berths for visitors.
The narrowest width at the entrance to the harbour is approx. 15 meters (49.2 ft) of which 3-4 meters (10 - 13 ft) has silted up. Yachts should stay as close as possible to the breakwater on entering. This space could be further restricted if there is a boat moored on the breakwater close to the entrance.
Water and electricity are available on the quay via an Evia Port Authority smart card. In settled whether it is possible to moor on the outside of the mole or anchor off the village. Reported to be a very clean harbour for swimming. Good shops close to the harbour. 1.6kms west of Limni harbor there is a boatyard (Evia Boatyard).
Orei
On the northern coast of Evia, opposite the entrance into the Gulf of Volos, Orei is a quiet, pretty harbor, with much improved facilities. Moor stern-to on the northern side of the harbor, or on the south side if space is available. Holding is excellent.
There is now electricity and water on the quay and provisioning here is varied and easy. Supermarket Orei is reasonably priced, close to the harbour and they deliver promptly without any additional cost (also exchange Camping Gas cylinders). Cruisers also recommend the boatyard close to here for it's winter offers (see below).
Kimi
The east coast is wild, rugged and sparsely populated. The fishing port of Kimi offers good shelter from the Meltemi and has adequate services.
