Dangers	En entrant dans Yeras kolpos venant via Ak Kavourolimni (c’est-à-dire de Plomarion), entre la plage de Pefko et le Gera Ormos (N 39° 00’ 35 - E 26° 32’ 73), le TE est de façon surprenante faible sur 300m en prolongement de la pointe.	Forecast svces

		The Harbour
		Access
		Draught	<7-10m
		Description	Enough places in the harbour and at anchor.
Anchorage	The whole bay has a good holding with a sticky mud that offers much pleasure when hauling up the anchor. In Summer, the wind blows from the N in the morning (7h-10h), calms down, and blows again in the evening from 19h to 22h. The less exposed area is between the fisherboats quay and the chapel, about in front of the taverna but near to the boatyard (noisy). The bay immediately E of Ak Miti offers a good protection from S and W winds. One anchors with 6-12 m draught, on a mud bottom of good holding.	©Freddy Riffont

the Place
Victualling	Victualling in the supermarket run by a very old man, or else at the village. A pleasant taverna on the right of the fishboats (see from the sea), run by a Greek back from Australia, very sympathetic and more than honest.
Rental svces
Various svces	Good stopover to get or disembark a crew, because the airport is at 7-8 km as the crow flies (taxi 13 à 15 €). Taxis come from Mytilini. A bus goes to the village (4/5km) and Mytilini.
Setting	Beautiful bay, well protected, with a small boat yard, a small harbour and its keeper - a great pelican -, a calm place despite the road that runs along its N Side (but traffic is low). Old plants hidden behind the olive tree are old olive oil soap factories. Beautiful panorama from the chapel on top of the SE hill.
