Logistics & Technical

The outer anchorage offers depths ranging from 5 to 12 meters, while the inner harbor basin shelves rapidly to 2 to 3 meters, limiting larger vessels to the outer roadstead. The seabed consists primarily of sand, weed patches (Posidonia oceanica), and scattered rocks, requiring careful monitoring to ensure the anchor is well-set in clean sand. The harbor provides moderate protection against the prevailing northwestern Maestral, but is highly exposed to strong northerly (Tramontana) and northeasterly (Gregale) winds, which can generate a hazardous swell inside the bay. Coastal navigation requires vigilance due to submerged rocks near the eastern headland and increased commercial traffic in the Corfu Channel.
