Paloi (or Palon)


position 36°37,25N 27°10,65E
Port of Entry no
Approach The entrance between the east and northern breakwater is very narrow (20-25m), at the head of the northern breakwater are cliffs! Approx. 100m of Cape Akrotiri, a reef runs to N, keep distance!
Danger With the meltemi, a steep, dangerous sea runs onto the northside of Nisiros. With more than force6, the waves climb over the mole and a confuse swell enters the harbour. Now it nearly gets impossible to enter or leave the harbour! Lately now, you should head for Yali
Mooring Stern-to or bow-to the northern breakwater. Drop anchor on 3m goodholding mud. It is impossible to stay at the eastern breakwater, because swell comes in with northwind.
Shelter Paloi offers good shelter with S, E and W and with N under 6 Bft. With meltemi, go to Yali
Facilities Water is expensive (3000 Drachme) because Nisiros has got no own water and needs imports by watership. No electricity. Provisions and restaurants in the village and alongside the harbour. 2 stores rent motorbikes.

Paloi is a typical, greek fishermen´s village. The church is always brilliant white with typical blue doors and windows. The houses are in good condition. One strolls along the cafenions, examined by the locals, that always give back your friendly "Kalispera". Rent a motorbike and have trips to the volcano, the mountain village Emboreios and the monastery.
