It is protected from waves caused by S and SE winds by the windward curved S breakwater, which first extends E for 280 m, with the inner side quayed and a parapet, then continues N for about 320 m, made of natural boulders. It is protected from waves caused by N and NE winds by a (windward) breakwater in the N, which extends E for 250 m. At its head there is a ramp, which has been severely damaged and cannot be used.

Almost in the middle of the W quays of the harbor there is a projection of 65×47 m with depths 4.2 m off the head, 2.7 m off its N side and 3.5 m off its S side, which is used by ferries. The coasts N of the harbor are quayed for 560 m. The water density is 1025 g/cm3. A small harbor is located N of harbor Lixouríou.
