Yérakas / Ieraka is a gem of a place...almost a hidden world. It is very easy to sail straight past even when you’re looking for the entrance and this makes the place all the more special as few visit. The village is nothing but a line of houses built between the small quayside and rocky sides of what is described as; ‘the only fjord in Greece’...although the word ‘fjord’ does conjure-up images of surrounding hills and cliffs which Yérakas can’t quite match. A beautiful quiet spot...but don’t tell anyone; we don’t want to spoil Yérakas! Finding YérakasYerakas is north of Monemvasia on the eastern Peloponnese coast. The entrance to the ‘fjord’ can be found at 36° 47’.44N 23° 05’.70E (WGS84). Sailing holiday images; Yérakas, Peloponnese

Another view of parts of the ruined Mycenean acropolis on ák Kástro (Castle Cape). You can walk up from the quayside if you want to explore the site, although it is completely deserted; do not come expecting visitor signs and paths

Looking across the salt water lagoon at the head of the ‘fjord’. You can navigate into the lagoon in your yacht’s tender, but if using an outboard take care of the sea grass which can block water inlets and foul the propellor
