Ports
Astros
Astros or Astrous is nice harbor on the NE Peloponnese. The town has grown from a sleepy fishing village into a summer tourist resort, mostly domestic tourism. Overlooking the town there is a large medieval castle and at the end of the S mole there are the ruins some classical buildings.
The harbor offers good protection from the prevailing S winds. Drop the anchor in 5-6 m and go either stern or bows-to the quay. The bottom has mud and weed and the holding is not always good.
Warning: There strong katabatic winds from the mountains in the evenings.Leonidio
Leonidio or Leonidhion or Plaka (Πλάκα) is a very pleasant harbor in the E Peloponnese. About a 25 min taxi drive from the harbor there is the spectacular Elona Monastery build on the shear cliffs of the mountain.
The harbor does not offer the best protection from the S winds and can develop an uncomfortable swell. Anchor in 6-8 m and go stern-to the quay. The bottom has rocks and the holding is at places rather poor. The harbor police here is always very eager to inspect your papers. The harbor fees are outrageous for what it offers. In 2007 I paid €10 for no facilities other than the concrete while at proper Greek marina with showers, bathrooms, water, electricity and attendants the fee is €15-20.Kyparisi
Nafplio
Nafplio or Nauplion was the first capital of Modern Greece. It is a town with considerable ancient and modern history.
Today it is a busy and rather grubby commercial harbour, but it does offer a safe mooring for a visit to the old town of this former capital of the Greek state and its wonderfully sited Venetian castle. The harbour is secure in most winds, although northerlies send an uncomfortable chop across the large harbour in view of the fetch. We anchor moored on the quay here while a full meltemi was blowing down the Peloponnese without problems. The holding in the harbour is good. There are no facilities on the quay. The port police seem not to bother visiting yachts at all unless there is a big ship due.Marinas & Yacht Clubs
