Have berthed here a couple of times in the past few years. Harbour staff very welcoming. Water, power, wifi part of the mooring fees. Shore showers etc just across the quay were clean and well maintained when we were there last. There are 3 or 4 family run taveras, a couple of bakeries and small “supermarket.
