The large harbor is very well protected and is an all weather shelter. One can anchor off, in 6 m depth with excellent holding in mud, but the port authorities seem to disapprove. | The large harbor is very well protected and is an all weather shelter.

Porto Lago (Πόρτο Λάγγο) is a harbor in the Vistonikos gulf in Thrace. Lake Vistonis is a narrow strip away. This is an area with many water foul. The port is very commercial but surprisingly not unattractive, save for murky waters which give home to clouds of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

The large harbor is very well protected and is an all weather shelter. One can anchor off, in 6 m depth with excellent holding in mud, but the port authorities seem to disapprove.
There are two other alternatives: dock side-to the very tall quay to the N, or, if free, use one of the moorings of the yacht club at the SW end of the harbor and visit the port police in the large white building in the center of town to make your presence known.
Warning: There are large numbers of flies and mosquitoes here.
