Yacht anchorage in Kefali

Port Leone (Kefali) is located on the south-east coast, a mile and a half from the southern tip of Kalamos Island.

Port Leone (Kefali) is most often marked on the charts as Ormos Gerolimionas. The village of Port Leone (Kefali) was abandoned by the inhabitants after the 1953 earthquake that destroyed the water supply. Only the church remains of the ruins.

Now yachts are visiting this bay, giving good shelter from the prevailing westerly and north-westerly winds. For other winds all other wind directions the bay is open.

Anchoring is possible to the north of the abandoned village in depths of 10-12 meters. The second anchorage option is south of the village at 6.0 - 7.0 meters. It is preferable to tale lines on the shore. And the third option is opposite the village with mooring lines to one of the two wooden piers. Depths at the end of the piers are 2.0 - 2.5 meters. No more than two boats can moor here and not on July 1 or August 15, when the pilgrims visit the church.
