About this beach

Patelia usually stays sheltered when the meltemi blows. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The bay at Patelia opens to the south-west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds.

Patelia has sand and pebbles underfoot.
