Round the point and north into the Corfu Channel to Agios Stephanos (St Stephanos) a small village on the North Eastern coast of Corfu.

There is no real harbour here suitable to tie a yacht to, but one of the local tavernas has a jetty that you can bows-to onto. One boat either side  (if your yacht is shallow like a Jaguar, which only draws 1 meter) and then others can come alongside those, or piggy-back on the stern of the first trot.

One advantage of Mediterranean mooring is that you always have an anchor out when rafting up in that way.

Larger (or rether deeper) vessels are recomended to only use the last few feet of the jetty, just get her alongside enough to allow you to get on and off, the water is very shallow further in.

I’ve parked a Benetteau 361 here before using that technique.

Of course you can always anchor off and pump up the dinghy if in doubt.
