The port provides mooring lines inside, therefore DO NOT drop anchor, since there is a great risk to get it hooked in the main chain of the mooring lines. If you cannot find space inside and the winds are not more than 4-5 bft, drop an anchor outside and come stern to the dock.

If the winds are stronger then contact the Afros Yacht Services to help you get on double row on the inside, again without dropping an anchor. The yacht station is located inside the Parikia bay just next (eastern) of the main ferry dock. Afros Yacht Services is responsible for the base (VHF 73)
