Guide
Approach and anchoring
Anchor in 5 to 10 m on sand with good holding. A yacht held through 30 kn from the north in 2022, under the lee of the mountains. A westerly can bring a rolling swell, as can a south-easterly. The anchorage borders the marina approach, so it can be bumpy at busy times.
Practical
The harbour office allows dinghies to be left in the harbour on request. An ATM and a discount supermarket are within walking distance, and bikes and e-scooters are for hire in the harbour. A marina berth cost 85 euros for 12.3 m in 2025. Music from the bars ashore ran until 04:00 on a Saturday in September 2025.
