Rafina (GRRAF)

Rafina is a busy ferry port, relieving Piraeus from some of the traffic, with an artificial harbour which affords good shelter from N'ly winds. The inner harbour is quayed on all sides. A pier projects 20m from the W side of the inner harbour (0.075nm SW of the head of the inner mole).

Summer.

Rafina is situated at the NW corner of Ormos Rafinas, a small sandy bay open to the NE, approx 25nm due E of Piraeus.

Draught 5.0m

There is no established anchorage area.

Rafina is protected to the N by an outer mole projecting 50m E from reclaimed land fronting the village of Rafina. A stone breakwater projects 40m NE from the coast approx 0.125nm SW of the head of the outer mole. The harbour is divided into outer and inner parts by a triangular shaped inner mole which extends 60m S from the root of the outer mole. A light is exhibited at the head of the inner mole. Depths in the outer harbour are from 4.5-6.5m, except within 25m E of the head of the inner mole where there are depths from 1.2-3.9m. The inner harbour has depths of 4.0-6.0m within 50m of the SW side of the inner mole, but the S and W parts of the harbour are shallow. A dog legged mole with a total length of 240m extends E from the shore approx 0.1nm N of the outer mole. The root section of the mole is 80m in length and 20m wide with depths alongside of approx 6.0m. The remainder of the mole is approx 8m wide with depths alongside of between 5.0-5.5m. Depth at the head of the mole is less than 1.0m.
