NOTES
1. The name Pounta is not known to me. I have placed the marker at the S end of the Xyli peninsula where there appears to be flat ground as well as a very small anchorage. And to the W and SW about 330 m. distant are two more small anchorages. One is at 36.661247° N, 22.817439° E and the other at 36.657518° N, 22.818399° E.
