The Vlychada fishing shelter
The Municipal Port Fund of Thira says Vlychada has a fishing shelter and an area for private pleasure boats. Its two pages give different limits, so the table shows both.
| Place | Useful pier length | Max length | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vlychada fishing shelter | 700 m | 20 m (15 m on the shelters page) | 3 m (2.5 m on average on the shelters page) |
