Full Description & Details
Ormos Marathokampos Marina sits on the southwest coast of Samos in the southern Aegean, at 37° 42.449' N 026° 42.276' E. The harbor has grown from a quiet fishing village into a modern marina with 60 berths, a maximum length of 19 meters, and a draft capacity of 5 meters. The town itself is set in the mountains above the coast, with Kerkis mountain as a backdrop and slopes used for olive growing and goat farming. The marina provides electricity, water, high-speed Wi-Fi, and fuel access on the berths, plus restrooms, showers, laundry, and a restaurant nearby.
Mooring assistance and boat care are available through Karlovasi Boatyard, which offers maintenance and lift services. The marina has on-site security, and the surrounding area includes modest shopping, a doctor, bank, and post office.
How to get there
The harbor is easy to approach during the day, with a clear view of the town and wind turbines that serve as reliable navigation aids. The entrance has no shallows, and at night it is illuminated for safe entry. Mooring alongside is possible, with additional moorings available.
The nearest airport is Samos International Airport (SMI), about 50 minutes by car, with taxi fares starting around 40 euros; car rental is also available. The marina is on an unnamed road in Ormos Marathokampou, and the town is not directly on the coast, so expect a short drive or walk up the slope to reach the main village.
