RED BEACH – Santorini, Greece
During our very extended 2017 cruising tour through the Greek Islands, in some places we faced Problems, to find a good anchorage with enough depth (but not too much). One of these problematic spots was the Island of Santorini.
With a fixed draft of 3.50M (12 feet) most Marinas would not be able to berth our KER 63. Due to its volcanic background, Greece presents extreme deep waters, at a very short distance from the shore, at many of their beautiful islands
Going around the southern end of the Santorini, we finally found a very good anchorage in 18-20 metres of water at 036° 20.769 N, 025° 23.943E.
Going ashore here is a real pleasure, the Restaurant ‘The Dolphins’ does have a very nice dinghy dock, they are very friendly and helpful people and are happy to call you a cab to go into town.
For them it is without saying, that while you are away, they watch your boat and dinghy for you.
After our return from a beautiful day tour around the island, we had a tasty and very typical dinner at The Dolphins and in the end stayed more than two weeks at the same spot.
It looks like it is dredged to 1.8 meters. We could get in with 1.85. Follow starboard as you go in. The best advice is to contact authorities before going in.
Entrance to Vlikhada Marina is 1,7m deep. Convenient enough for the catamaran daily cruise business since it excludes many monohulls from entering the marina, thus always leaving berths for the catamarans.
Occasionally some dredging is done but make sure you check with the marina office about the depth at the time beforehand.
Vlikadha Marina *does* have some space for yachts, if you’re happy to raft up. It’s an overnight base for a great number of day-tripper catamarans; try and avoid the rush hour.
Red Beach, a couple of miles to the west, is a safe anchorage, but you’ll suffer uncomfortable rolling. The numerous tourists on the beach and cats in the bay will completely disappear at sunset.
The must be place is Oia at the northwest end of Thira Island (at sunset time 🙂 ). Quieter then town Thira and more beautiful. Down the coast few mooring buoys.
