Kolona Bay

Όρμος Κολώνα is one of those double-sided anchorages that actually delivers — a narrow isthmus separates two bays, so you can pick whichever side offers the best shelter depending on the wind. The setting is quietly dramatic, with the ruined Hellenistic tower of Kolona rising on the headland above you. Drop the hook here and you're also within easy reach of Mérichas, the island's main port, just a short walk or dinghy ride away for provisions and tavernas.
