Messolonghi Marina, Greece

Messolonghi Marina is on the western side of the basin, two kilometers northeast of the city of Messolonghi.
The marina is well protected and accessible through a 3 km long entrance channel.
Messolonghi Marina is located in the middle of a protected lagoon. When completed, it will be able to serve 280 boats.
Today Marina Messolonghi has 240 berths for vessels up to 16 meters; 40 moorings for boats up to 25 meters; boat storage facilities; 30 places for motorhomes; 120 ton lift; 35 ton trailer; closed entrance; cafes and restaurants; three utility buildings, including a laundry; toilets and showers; minimarket; naval service building; car rental; various shops and offices; parking; electricity and water; gas stations, pumping and Wi-Fi services.
Depths are from 6.0 to 10.0 meters, the largest depths are for free-standing pontoons. The entrance channel to the pool has a depth of 5.5 - 6.0 meters.
The channel leading to the Messolonghi basin is marked at the outer end by two buoys, port and starboard. It is very important to identify them before attempting to enter, as the sections on both sides are shallow. Enter between the buoys in the center of the channel and steer 007 degrees to the next two markers, the two port and starboard posts marked with red and black stripes respectively. After passing them, continue along the channel, which is marked with three more pairs of markers port and starboard. Depths in the channel are not less than 5.5 - 6.0 meters through to the basin. Once in the pool, be sure to continue towards the center before turning west towards the jetty, as there is shallow water on either side of the pool entrance.

A charming and less developed marina nestled in a picturesque, unspoiled setting. Ample distance between docks ensures hassle-free docking. The restroom and shower amenities are top-notch, while the attentive staff offer exceptional service. Moreover, the rates are approximately 30% lower compared to those in Lefkas. Although it requires a leisurely stroll to reach the town center, the scenic streets and affordable dining options make it a worthwhile excursion.

We arrived at approximately 9 p.m. and found the channel to be quite wide, although caution is advised for the last red buoy, particularly in the unlit conditions. Surprisingly, there were more boats in winter storage than expected, with small buoys strategically placed between the docks. Fortunately, we secured a pleasant spot that shielded us from inclement weather for three days. Access to water and electricity required a 10€ card, and the overnight fee was 38€ for a 15-meter vessel. While the city was a bit distant, car rental services were conveniently available onsite. The facilities, including clean toilets, and the overall reception were satisfactory.
