Practical tips

Description

The bay is bordered to the NW by the Marijo campsite and to the SE by a Christian youth summer camp. An underwater cable runs across the entrance to the bay, so anchoring is prohibited here (prohibition sign at the transformer station). If you sail into the middle of the bay (watch out for swimmers from the campsite), you will find 3-4m WT and good anchorage. There is a small jetty for the dinghy in the SW. Head uphill there and back down into the village, where you will find a good pizzeria with WLAN at the village harbor (which is too shallow for yachts).
