Ormos Miso

Location

Ormos Miso, also known as Miso Bay, is an expansive bay situated to the west of Rinia. It is located on the west end of the island, near the middle channel. Offering shelter from dry wind from both directions, it offers a scenic view to travellers and a lot of areas for recreational activities such as hiking and picnicking.

Ormos Miso will protect from the meltemi but not as much as the South Bay. If you are traversing the Cyclades, Miso will provide moderate shelter from both southeast winds and northerlies.

Mooring at Ormos Miso

You can sail from Delos, Mykonos, or Siros and moor at the bay for resting. The two large coves at the northern end have safe inlets that act as a strong harbour despite the sandy bottom.

You may also find reefs, weeds, and pointy rocks on the bed near the Ormos Miso waters. These islets provide good holding but the anchor suggestion is below five meters.

Provisioning

Ormos Miso is not suited for provisioning.
