Full Description & Details
Agios Kirykos marina (new) is a purpose-built tourist vessel shelter on the southeastern coast of Ikaria, in the Northern Aegean. It sits at the edge of the town of Agios Kirykos, the island's administrative centre and main ferry port, close to the village of Therma. The marina is a recent addition to the island's harbour infrastructure, distinct from the older, smaller port nearby, and is marked on charts as a harbour with marina category.
The new marina offers berths for visiting yachts and is open for overnight stays. It is positioned to give reasonable shelter, though as an open Aegean harbour it is not a fully enclosed basin. Depths are suitable for typical cruising yachts, with the nearby old marina restricting sailboats over 10 metres, so the new facility is the practical choice for larger vessels. Holding and berthing are on marina pontoons rather than anchor, and the harbour is equipped for tourist craft.
Facilities at Agios Kirykos marina (new) are basic but functional. The main draw for visitors is the convenient access to the natural hot thermal springs hidden in the rocks at Therma, a short distance away. The town of Agios Kirykos provides services, shops, and ferry connections to Piraeus, Samos, Fournoi Korseon, and other North Aegean islands. The marina itself is a recreation and transportation area, with the town's ferry terminal and small marina infrastructure nearby.
Skippers should note that this is a working harbour area with ferry traffic, so keep clear of the ferry approach when entering. The best season for a stopover is the summer cruising period, when the meltemi can blow but the harbour offers a usable refuge. There are no reported restrictions on overnight stays, and the marina is a straightforward stop for yachts exploring Ikaria and the eastern Aegean.
How to get there
Approach Agios Kirykos marina (new) from the southeast, heading toward the town of Agios Kirykos on Ikaria's coast. The marina lies just east of the old harbour, which is the historic port with restricted access for sailboats over 10 metres. Use the harbour entrance with care, as the area is shared with the ferry terminal and local fishing traffic.
There is no published VHF channel for the new marina, so contact the port authority on the standard Greek harbour channels if needed. Once ashore, the town of Agios Kirykos is immediately accessible on foot, with the village of Therma and its hot springs a short distance away. The island is reached by ferry from Piraeus, Samos, and Fournoi Korseon, and the marina is within walking distance of the town centre and its services.
No specific formalities beyond standard Greek port entry procedures are reported for the marina.
