The approach to Trizonia is either from SE, between it and the smaller islet of Ay, Ioannis, or from NW between it and the mainland. There are no hazards in the approach from SE, but note that a reef extends in parts for 200-300 metres from the N and NE shores of the island and a very wide approach is necessary to avoid it. Once into the bay on the E side of the island, the ‘marina’ is entered from SW between the two long protective breakwaters. Depths in the entrance to the bay are 9.0 – 10.0 metres and in the marina entrance 5.0 – 6.0 metres. Shelter in the bay is very good from all directions, although E winds send in a chop. Shelter in the marina is excellent.
Check-in facilities
None. The nearest port of entry E is Corinth; the nearest W is Patras.
Ports and Popular Stops
Ports
The "marina" is the only place to moor on the island. While there is a small harbour on the NE side used by the small fishing boats, it does not offer good shelter and is relatively shallow. The marina consists of a long, outer E breakwater extending from the shore of the peninsula that shelters the marina from NE and a shorter, inner W breakwater extending from the opposite shore. Inside there are also two long concrete jetties extending due S from the northern shore. Yachts berth in one of five positions:
- Alongside either of the two concrete jetties, wherever there is space. The inner ends are occupied by local boats on laid moorings. Do not attempt an anchor moor here as there are mooring chains along the jetty. The quay is quite rough here and liable to damage fenders if you are not careful. Mooring bollards are plentiful but there are no other facilities on the jetties. Depths are 3.0 – 4.0 metres.
- Alongside (or, during busy periods, stern/bows-to) the inside of either breakwater. The bollards are widely spaced here but there are also mooring rings set into the wall in places if you are doing an anchor moor. Depths here are also 3.0 – 4.0 metres and the holding is good in mud.
- Alongside the outside of the W breakwater. Depths here are only 2.5 – 3.0 metres, so this position is not suitable for deep draft yachts. Note that the area towards the root of the outside of this breakwater is dangerously shallow.
- Alongside (or, during busy periods, stern/bows-to) the outside of the E breakwater. Depths here are greater, at 4.0 – 5.0 metres, and bollards are plentiful. This position is, however, only suitable in settled weather and becomes very uncomfortable with anything E in the wind.
- Alternatively, anchor off in the bay. Depths are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and the holding is good in mud and weed. Make sure, however, that your anchor is well dug in before going ashore as yachts have dragged here.
Note: a yacht has sunk at its moorings between the two jetties (see below right). Navigate with care!
The cove provides an excellent all around shelter. Many boats have wintered here. Despite the "marina" it is an attractive anchorage.
