This comment was posted on the main Greece page but relates to this port:
Hola, llevo navegando en Grecia 5 años, y varias veces y recientemente en Calkcis Evia puente de Chalkis, en la zona de amarre cerca dwl ayuntamiento, hubo varios robos, 2022 y 2023 y entradas en veleros con los ocuoantes en el interior. La mayoría de noche cuando duermen los propietarios, abren la puerta y de adentran en el barco y roban todo lo que está a la vista. La policía lo sabe pero no hace nada. Es importante avisar a los tates que cierren puertas no dejen objetos fuera. Si dispones de algún método disuasorio emplea.
Saludos.
Quick translation into English: This sailor reports that he has sailed 5 years on Greece and many times recently at the Chalkis bridge, Evia, at the berthing zone close to the port authority there have been various burglaries (2022 and 2023). They broke into the boats, mostly at night when the owners were sleeping, they opened the door and entered the boat stealing anything they could see. The police know this is happening but don’t do anything. It’s important to close your doors and don’t leave anything outside on deck or out on the chart table etc.
“Southbound traffic transits first.” This is not correct and hasn’t been for at least a decade. The initial direction is set by any large ships which wish to transit: they’re not going to keep them hanging about.
But there’s no ambiguity: all skippers are briefed beforehand, and then updated by radio before transit.
Posted on behalf of SY Funny Girl – 9 July, 2015:
I just get the information that since the first of July the bridge price has doubled.
It is now 36 € for a 12-metre boat and at the weekend 75% higher!
If you are looking for anchorages in the Evia Channel DO NOT consider Nisos Stira’s anchorage on the East coast. The pilot and charts suggest 5-10m depth, we found this only with yards of the rocks. Everywhere else was 25 – 35m deep.
When transiting the bridge South to North it makes sense to anchor under the fort (10m Good Holding) and dinghy into the port police, but watch the tied through the gap.
Alternatively tie up on the quay, pay and then go and anchor. South bound traffic goes through the bridge first and boats on the quay get a lot of wash from fishing boats coming through.
Additionally, boats at anchor will be ready to go through the bridge before boats on the quay who have to wait for the traffic to pass before leaving the quay.
