Anchorage may be obtained in the roadstead in the approaches to the harbour, depths from 22.0-29.0m, mud and sand. Prohibited anchorage: Vessels are prohibited from anchoring NW of a line, extending WSW from the shore approx 0.3nm ENE of the N head of the breakwater, due to submarine cables, and in the vicinity of a submarine cable laid NNW from the shore close W of Ayios Andreas Church.

North Port Northern entrance: The N entrance affords the deepest, with depth approx 11.0m, and widest access to Limin Patron. From Patraikos Kolpos leads S between the N end of the breakwater, on which a light is exhibited, and a lightbuoy (port hand), moored approx 225m E to mark the limit of shoals extending from the shore. Lights are exhibited from the S entrance of the boat and caique harbour (0.25nm NE of N end of the breakwater). North Port Southern entrance: The S entrance, depth approx 7.0m, leads NE from Patraikos Kolpos passing between Provlis Ayios Andreou with a mole at its extremity and a lightbuoy (port hand) moored approx 0.1nm NW marking the SW extremity of a 132m long extension to the SW end of the breakwater. Depths of less than 5.0m lie within 60m of the mole. A light (white metal column green band) is exhibited from the NE head of the mole.
