Ermioni - Docking
Ermioni North
This harbour gets very busy in the summer and it’s likely there will be no space to berth on the central quay. Its hammerhead is for ferry use only.
Yachts can try and find a space on the outer mole, either side is possible although take care on the outside as there is a ledge two meters underwater. Holding is patchy. Take care as well with swell (from both the wind and ferry wash) and be sure to pull yourself well off the mole.
This harbour gives adequate shelter, but is open to the NE and can get uncomfortable when the wind blows strongly off the hills.
In settled weather, it is possible to anchor in the bay north of the breakwater. Try to get as far north as possible to escape the swell that comes into the bay, but be aware that it is subject to strong gusts from the NW. Ensure the anchor is well dug in.
Ermioni South
In off-shore winds, there is a quiet berth on the south side of the peninsula. Moor to the small concrete quay there, clear of any fishing boats, in two – five meters. This spot is exposed to easterlies and southerlies. No water on this quay.

The bay on the north side is safe enough, but neither harbour is much good if there is a strong northerly. Best bakery “Drougas” in the Saronic at the head of the pier on the north side.
Maria’s good for eating out. Good butcher and plenty of shopping generally. Nightmarish if “The Yacht Week” is in town.
Ermioni is a popular spot for cruisers and charterers with the harbour full almost every day during the season. In the middle of June boats were rafting-on on the east side of the quay, the inside of the harbour is taken up by local fishing boats with room for only 10 to 12 smaller yachts.
The bay on the north side of the peninsula was also crowded with yachts at anchor. In easterlies, even of medium strength the swell will make mooring on the outside or anchoring dangerous. Ferry movement causes swell, stay well clear of the quay.
Water and power available from a few distribution points, cards can be purchased from kiosks close to the harbour. Water is 3 euro for 1000 liters (minimum) and power 1 euro per KWhr. Mooring spots can also be found on the south side of the town/peninsula, no water or power.
Anchoring in Kapari bay a good option expect in Easterlies or North Easterlies The town has many restaurants, bars and coffee shops, with free wifi, good shopping for provisions, ATM’s, car rental etc, ferry service to Hydra and Pireaus
