Spot description
Sigri Bay lies behind the offshore island of Nissiopi. There are shallower, more sheltered water areas near shore; wind and waves can become stronger in the channel between the town and island. Watersports services are at the northern end. Boats, nets, stones and changing water depth require a clear outward and return route.
