Good to know
Which beaches in Arta are more sheltered from the wind?
It comes down to which way the coast faces. When the maistros 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 weather worst in Arta?
Over the last 20 summers there was no hard stretch in Arta: even the windiest week had wind of 5 Beaufort or more on only 7 days in 100. The sea passes 21°C from June and peaks at 27.4°C in August. On windy days, Frachtis and Paralia Salaoras stay the calmest of the beaches on this page. 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 peak: on an average night there are about 1,588 people staying here. When it fills and empties is measured for Preveza and Arta as a whole, not for this place on its own: in October it drops to 14% of that peak — about 235 people, while in May it sits at 27%. 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.
