The small fish village Vourkari lies on the NE arm of Livadi bay.  During the past years, Vourkari has evolved to a tourist resort. Along the coastal road are many tourist shops, taverns and coffeehouses.  Anchor in the bay or go stern-to or bows-to the quay in front of the tavernas.

The bottom comes up quickly just before the quay and consequently it is best to go bows-to if possible.  The port is rather deep (about 12 m. depth) so make sure you have an adequate length of chain or line to let go. The bottom is mud and weed and not everywhere good holding.  As the meltemi  blows straight on to the quay ensure your anchor is holding before tying up to the quay. Vourkari (together with Hydra) are the favourite destination ports for Athenian yachtsmen.  Better avoid going there on the week-ends, as it is always boating crowded and a berth on the quay is a rather valuable privilege.
