Peristera

The island of Peristera or Peristeri or Xero is very lightly inhabited island just east of Alonnisos. There are three anchorages on the island and no facilities. Vasiliko: is a bay at the middle of the west side of the Peristera.

The northern corner of the bay is well protected from the meltemi but is exposed to the south winds. The south corner offers some protection but you have to anchor at 15-20 m depth on weed. Bad holding. Vourlia: This cove, just south-west of Vasiliko, provides much better shelter from the south winds than Vasiliko.

Anchor near the North coast and take a shore line to a rock on the south coast. Good holding on a mostly sand bottom. Here you will be totally isolated save for a large flock of seagulls that roost here. Peristera or Xero Bay – An isolated bay at the south of the island. Well protected from the meltemi but open to the south. This is maybe the most attractive anchorage in the region.
