Stay 2 METERS from pier. Anchor boat WELL. Many ferries generate HEAVY SWELL - LONG SHORE LINES and TAUT ANCHOR CHAIN definitely NEEDED. When harbour FULL with yachts moored next to each other: Make sure MASTS are OFFSET and do NOT keep SLAMMING into each other during swell. Yachts moor STERN-TO in NORTHERN part of harbour basin. Electricity and water on NORTH SIDE of marina. Environmental Issue: At BEND in CENTRE of quay: PIPE releases SEWAGE into harbour - resulting in noticeably UNPLEASANT ODOURS. Unavoidable but worth knowing. Vibrant Atmosphere and Amenities: VERY VIBRANT PLACE with many EXCELLENT RESTAURANTS and taverns, lovely street cafés, dozens of small stores. Many ferries bring endless streams of tourists blending with locals. Port in CENTRE of town - cross street to find taverns, cafés, ouzerias, stores. Can get LOUD at NIGHT. SHOPPING amenities EXCELLENT. Worth visiting MARKET STREET - but NOTHING for FAINT-HEARTED: Skinned sheep hang on hooks next to beheaded chickens. Contact and Location: City: Ermoupoli, Syros island, Aegean region (Cyclades capital). This is the vibrant Cyclades capital port with neoclassical beauty, excellent shopping, and challenging ferry swell - requires careful mooring management.
