What this video covers
Kyra Panagia, a roadless island inside the National Marine Park of Alonissos in the northern Sporades, offers four distinct anchorages with no marinas or facilities.▶ 0:00 Agios Petros anchors in 4–7 metres over sand with good holding; a small islet reduces swell and the bay is well protected from north and northwest winds.▶ 0:18 Kirapanagia Bay has a sand-and-seagrass bottom at 5–7 metres; some skippers run a stern line to the rocks, and a steep path from the beach leads to a monastery.▶ 0:57 Southeast Planitis Bay is the most sheltered, with depths of 5–12 metres over mud or sand and holding described as excellent — though the narrow entrance turns rough in strong northerlies, making departure difficult.▶ 1:20 Planitis Bay anchors in 5–8 metres over sand-mud mix with strong all-round shelter, but gusts near the entrance become confused.▶ 1:44 No phone signal exists anywhere on the island, so the marine park permit must be purchased online before arrival; fees run approximately €33.50 per boat plus €5.50 per person, or €35–40 euros at Agios Petros depending on vessel and crew size.▶ 2:00 Landing may be restricted in some areas.▶ 0:41
