The harbour is protected from all winds except the bora and tramontana. During these winds it is advisable to leave the harbour and seek shelter on the W coast of the island. Smaller yachts can moor along the inner side of the breakwarter which is arranged as a marina (depths 2-3 m); at the head of the breakwater there is a submerged pile of stones (up to 5 m). Along the head of the inner quay there is a landing ground for local passenger boats. The anchorage for yachts is situated some 250 m off the harbour (depth 10-15 m).

Facilities: Harbour master's office, post office, medical service, chemist's, restaurants and shops. Provisions in local shops, limited water from the cistern and mains water supply. There are two slipways for smaller vessels.

The northernmost part of the cove is protected from all winds, the rest of the cove is exposed to W winds. The best anchorage for smaller yachts is in the S part of the cove, especially during the sirocco.

The harbour is sheltered only from the bora and the easterlies; yachts should leave when W and NW winds start blowing. The SE end of the pier is reserved for passenger ships. Smaller yachts can moor at both sides of the pier but only in calm weather and the bora; if all berths are taken, they should use the four-point moor. A good anchorage for larger yachts is NW of the harbour (depth 25-40 m); for smaller yachts a good shelter from the bora is some 400 m NW of the demolished part of the breakwater.

Facilities: Limited water supply; provisions and other shopping in local shops.
