Port Athene is the large port on the north-eastern side of Greece’s Meganissi island. It is a quiet, pleasant spot surrounded by olive trees. It tends to be busier during the day than it is at night, but is only ever crowded in July and August and ‘crowded’ is something of a relative term in this part of the world.

There is one taverna here, Niagas, which is well liked by visiting sailors and usually has a good selection of fresh fish. You can go into the kitchen and pick your own from the selection that the owner will show you.

Inland, the village of Katomeri is about half an hour’s walk away and has a few shops and tavernas. Don’t forget to bring a flashlight for the walk home if you’re planning to visit at night on your Port Athene yacht charter! The swimming and snorkeling are good here, particularly on the west side of the cove.
