Mooring

At Sivota you have many options . At the first floating pontoon that you will meet on your port side go stern or along side-to .Care must be taken at the E side of this pontoon , the chains which are holding it  are in a wide angle to it and the result is some blocked anchors every season . At the town quay go stern or bows-to with anchor or with lazy line which usually can be found at the spots in front of tavernas .Care must be taken at the depths close to the quay and at the lazy lines which are floating for the local boats . A few other floating pontoons which are managed from the tavernas owners provide lazy lines , electricity and water .Usually there is no charge for these but you have to visit their tavernas.Sivota is very popular and gets crowded during the summer season .Alternatively anchor off with care at the depths which drop off quickly .Good shelter , good holding .Care must be taken at Easterlies
