perilous gusts off the coast. It is located one kilometre away from an attractive village humming with life,
where there are plenty of tavernas, shops, medical aid and harbour master’s office. Entering and leaving the
harbour during high northerly wind is impossible. Keep close to the southern breakwater while entering
