BALI (Port) RETHYMNO
Location: 35*24'.1 24*47'.1
Bali is a seaside resort about 20km east of Rethimnon. In the bay there are
2 small coves on the west side, in front of the town, that provide safe anchorage
for all but northeastern winds.
Facilities: Bali can provide minimal shopping, no repairs and with some effort
fuel may be ordered. There are mailing facilities and international telephone
calls can be made. There is no Port Police or Customs. The village has a pharmacy.
There are hotels and tavernas.
Comments: Safe anchorage is in the 2 small coves on the west side of the bay.
The coves provide protection in north and north west winds. There are rocks
extending from the west side of the bay seaward. The town is well lit up at
night. The shelter is no good in the winter as the waves break over the retaining
wall, causing a swell that is dangerous. The anchor holding in the bays is poor.
