Naxos

Naxos is located in the west of the island of Naxos, and its white houses make it one of the typical places in the Cyclades. The harbour is protected by a breakwater and lies right in front of the marina. Yachts moor with mooring lines at a water depth of up to 2 m. At the same time, the harbour is the ferry dock, therefore expect a swell. It is dangerous to moor in the harbour when southerly and westerly winds blow. A small island in the harbour makes manoeuvring difficult. It gets shallow quickly where the berths are, in some places the water is less than 1 m deep, therefore it is advisable to moor bow-to. There are a variety of taverns and shopping amenities nearby.
