While the Greek Waters Pilot is not an RCC Pilotage Foundation publication, it is nevertheless the bible for the area. the 12th Edition of Greek Waters Pilot 2014 p.87 states that there are plans to extend the harbour at Vasiliki and gives an outline chart of the proposed new harbour. This new harbour has been built, though in August 2019 the final work had not been completed. The Google Earth image is slightly out of date as the mole running NE/SW has been completed and runs to what appears to be an island and the two pontoons coming out from the existing mole running NW/SE shown in the chartlet are in place, though at this point you are not allowed to moor on them. The new harbour is significantly bigger than the old harbour.
NB The Fully Revised Thirteenth Edition (2018) of Heikell's Greek Waters Pilot does state on p89 that pontoons are in place for the new marina in the outer basin, and should be operating soon.
Any further updates would be welcomed (Ed)
