Availmonas, a small but pretty anchorage with good shelter in all but south winds.
Very nice village with tavernas and shop.
Anchor in 10/12 meters and take a stern line to the rock breakwater of the little fishing port.
Great stopover coming or going to Crete.
Kapsali, Kythira.
Grand port with excellent shelter from all but SW winds in 4 to 5 meters just off the beach or on the dock which has electricity and water available. Cards for this from the local market shop.
Several good tavernas in the port.
Nice port to spend a few days and visit the nearby chora.
Reported by Tony Olin:
Pelagia, Kithera – a good little port to visit, great docking on breakwater with good depth, the ferry no longer calls here and there is docking on the old ramp at the entrance to the harbour.
Water and electricity available, no charge when we were there, good tavernas and mini market etc. nearby. There is lots of shipping going through the channel between Kithera and Elafonesous, advise use of AIS in this area and keep a sharp lookout.
