Logistics & Technical

The primary harbor of Fri offers limited space and can be subject to severe surges during strong northerly winds. Approaching the harbor requires careful navigation due to shallow depths near the breakwater and submerged rocks. The nearby bay of Emporios provides alternative anchorage with a sandy and weedy bottom, offering moderate holding but remaining vulnerable to northerly swells. Navigators must monitor the intense currents flowing through the Kasos Strait.

Practical Info

Basic provisioning, including fresh water and fuel by truck, can be arranged at the main pier in Fri. Local bakeries offer traditional Kasiot pastries, and a small fish market provides the daily catch. Technical yacht services, specialized maintenance, or luxury amenities are virtually non-existent, meaning vessels must be fully self-sufficient before making port here.
