Kapi Creek

Description

Kapi Creek is the first inlet to the south of the passage between Domuz island and the mainland when entering from the east. There is space for a few yachts to anchor to orange bollards on the east side of the inlet, but most yachts tie up on the jetty of the Kapi Creek restaurant, where there are some 20 laid moorings. Mooring lines are taken to an assortment of angle irons, rings and bollards by the helpful restaurant staff. In some of the berths it is necessary to go bows-to in view of rocks near the jetty. Only the middle berths on the south side have depths >2.5m. Depths are about 2m on the east side. There is a good walk (wear stout shoes, since it’s quite rocky in parts) up to the summit of the mountain which overlooks the creek. Views from the top are magnificent and, if lucky, you may even spot a pair of Eleonora’s falcons that frequent the summit. On the eastern side of the inlet are some unusual barrel-vaulted Byzantine structures which appear to have been (very cosy) houses, since they have chimneys albeit no windows.
