Kioni is a picturesque little village at the north part of Ithaca island.  It's harbour is very deep (12-15 m.) and therefore a long chain on your anchor is required.  Bottom is weedy with medium holding. The wind blows almost continually here (the island of Ithaca was called by the ancient Greeks "island of Aeolos" -the
god of the winds) but as it's direction is from the key to the sea, it is quite safe.  Your vessel holds on the mooring ropes and uses your anchor to prevent swinging. The village Stavros -supposed to be Ulysses home town- is only 3 kms from here. Source: Greek Waters Pilot (Buy Now)
