This islet is 365m high and the narrow passage leading be tween its E end and the coast is shallow and foul. Ormos Kalotiri, a bay, is formed by the S side of Nisis Nikouria and the NW coast of Nisos Amorgos. It is open to the W and subject to squalls and variable winds. Vessels with local know ledge can anchor in this bay, in depths of 33 to 37m. The best berth lies about 0.9 mile WSW of the E extremity of Nisis Nikouria where the holding ground is good.
