Full Description & Details
Mandraki Port is a marina situated on the southern side of Kos Harbor, at coordinates 36°53.75′N, 27°17.29′E, just minutes from the center of Kos Town. The port offers 80 berths for vessels up to 70 meters in length, with depths at the stern reaching 2 meters, except at the extreme northern end where it may vary. Berths provide water and electricity outlets during the peak season of May to September; outside these months, mooring is free but facilities are limited.
The marina arranges sailboats in a bow-to-bow formation along the northern edge, and for a more serene mooring experience, it's advisable to request a berth on the northeast side. This contrasts with the northwest side where berths are anchor-based, leading to frequent entanglements with submerged debris. The port is under the stewardship of Kos Marina and provides excellent holding on mud.
How to get there
The marina is accessible from Kos Harbor, known for being a large and safe harbor, though it can experience considerable swell from N-NE winds. The port offers alternative anchorage spots on the E side under the castle or on the NE side outside the harbor when the weather is settled. Vessels can communicate with the dockmaster on VHF Channel 74 (call sign Kos Mandraki) for guidance to a berth, particularly during the busy summer months.
An information kiosk operates daily from 7:30 to 22:00, and the area is securely monitored by a dedicated security service. Electricity supply at the port can reach up to 63 Amps, and water is accessible via prepaid cards, both available for an extra charge.
