Full Description & Details
Astrous Marina is a small, bustling fishing port on the east coast of the Peloponnese, in Astros town on the Aegean Sea. The town has grown from a sleepy fishing village into a summer resort popular with domestic tourists, with a long sandy beach and a large medieval castle overlooking the area.
At the end of the S-shaped breakwater, ruins of classical buildings add historical interest. The marina offers good shelter from prevailing winds, but strong catabatic winds from the N/NW can blow for several hours in the evenings, so be prepared for sudden gusts.
How to get there
Approach Astrous Marina from the Aegean Sea, heading toward the town of Astros on the eastern Peloponnese coast. The harbor entrance is marked by an S-shaped breakwater; the outer breakwater provides a mooring option. Depths after dredging range from 3 to 4 meters, but the bottom is a mix of silt and weeds, so anchoring is poor in places.
No specific VHF channel is listed; use standard harbor procedures and visual signals. The marina is in close proximity to the Peloponnesian islands, making it a convenient stop along the coast.
