Alexandroupolis - Docking
Moor stern-to or alongside the north quay near the entrance to the inner harbour. The quay here is a pretty rough rock affair and you will need to use plenty of fenders.
If there is space, it is possible to moor in the inner basin itself.
There is however limited room in this port for visiting yachts and you may find yourself berthed on a commercial quay (dirty and noisy), or having to negotiate with the local fisherman to get a berth, neither of which are ideal.
The shelter is good (although in strong southerlies it can be lumpy) and the holding excellent.
There is shore power (although it’s expensive) and water available here. As this is a commercial port, some repairs are possible and there are plenty of hardware shops.

I cannot recommend this port for anything but a check-in. The inner harbor appears to be always full and the commercial docks have rubber tires that mar your boat. This commercial dock is also where trucks park and wait for customs clearance whether coming into Greece or departing from it.
There is shore power IF you have a very long cable and the Port Control tries to get you to fork over 25 euros just to open it even though the Port Authority tells you that the price of your moor includes these services.
The wall is high and the sailboater in front of me had to sit on the wall to get on and off. It is a dirty harbor with commercial ships (and their noise). It also appears that the area has not been cleaned of trash on the ground for months/years.
As usual, there was a plan for a yacht marina nearby but fiscal troubles have prevented its construction. We witnessed an LNG carrier offload his product and was told by their safety officials that we were within their 100% destruction blast zone.
Port had nowhere to put us and we elected to stay as much as possible in town for the two days that ship was in port. The town itself has some good eats, and the lighthouse is famous, but that is about it.
I did NOT see a working fueling station and was advised that a tanker could come to fill me ( 500 l min.) I am also told by the Coast Guard that due to current dredging operations, anchoring is not permitted.
Med mooring is frowned upon due to the bottom being “fouled” per the Coast Guard People. There is a ferry boat to the nearby island that comes in about two to three times a day. BTW, the people that checked us in were the friendliest group we have dealt with in a very long time!
