Good to know
Which beaches in Agistri are more sheltered from the wind?
It comes down to which way the coast faces. When the meltemi blows, coves facing the other way have less open water in front of them for a wave to build across, so they are usually more comfortable. It is not a guarantee — the same beach changes character when the wind turns. Check live wind and waves before you go.
How is this list ordered?
By which beaches have the best conditions at that hour, so the order changes through the day: a beach that leads in the morning can drop down the list in the afternoon, once the wind picks up. When there is no live weather data, they are listed by how well known each one is — not by a score of ours.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 6 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.25 m in June, 0.29 m in July and 0.31 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.27 m in September. June is the calmest month of the season. We calculate these figures ourselves from European Copernicus wave-model data at 4.2 km resolution. They describe the sea offshore, not the shelter of an individual cove — a bay protected by a headland will usually be calmer than this.
How warm is the water, month by month?
Off 6 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 19.8 °C in May, 23.6 °C in June, 26.3 °C in July, 26.9 °C in August and 25.7 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 23.4 °C. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.
When is the weather worst in Agistri?
Over the last 20 summers, the hardest week in Agistri starts around 14 August: 23 days in 100 had wind of 5 Beaufort or more. In a week's holiday between 7 August and 20 August, strong wind on about 1 of the 7 days. Once it starts, it lasts about 2 days. Even then, the most sheltered side was the southwest coast, with beaches fit for a swim such as Aponisos. These are typical figures from 20 summers of European reanalysis (2006–2025), not a forecast for any single day.
How busy does it get, month by month?
August is the busiest month. When it fills and empties is measured for Piraeus and the Saronic islands as a whole, not for this place on its own: in October it drops to 25% of that peak, while in May it sits at 33%. From official overnight-stay figures 2024-2025: it counts whoever sleeps in the area, not day trippers or cruise passengers. It is a historical average, not a forecast for this year.
