The channel between Chios and the mainlaind is free of unmarked dangers, and the approach through from north or south is straightforward. The rocks, marked by a beacon about a mile west of the entrance, should be left at least a quarter mile to starboard – or leave to port, passing mid-way between the rocks and the headland.

Çeşme’s conspicuous castle is easy to identify and lies immediately north east of the marina. Simply pass between the breakwater to starboard and the pier to port. On approach, contact the Marina Office on Channel 72 to arrange your berth.
