We anchored south of the ferry pier. Since our edition of the pilot book there is a new stone breakwater to the south that encloses the anchorage a bit. The holding was OK but it was a calm night so it wasn’t a good test. We had that dreadful angel hair weed to contend with again. We landed in the fishing harbour. There is a tap on the front street that has a cup attached to it so presumably it’s drinking water and there is a fuel station just outside the town to the south. Karabiga didn’t live up to our expectations for some reason. There’s less there than you expect although there are several small shops. Derek wasn’t that enamoured with the protection in the anchorage either
