Beaches in Evia

All 128 beaches in Evia, in one list. 41 of them are not exposed to the meltemi, which gives them the better odds on a windy day. Open any of them for live wind and waves.

The beaches

Pick by what you are looking for

  • Meltemi options

    The coves that face away from the prevailing wind — the shortlist for a windy day.

  • Family beaches

    Organised, not hard to reach, and recorded as shallow in our data.

  • Snorkeling

    Rockier seabed and clearer water, where there is something to look at underwater.

  • Organized

    Sunbeds, umbrellas and somewhere to eat or drink nearby.

  • Secluded

    Quieter and harder to reach — dirt track, a walk, or boat only.

  • Sunset

    West-facing, so the sun goes down over the water in front of you.

  • Sandy

Good to know

Which beaches in Evia are more sheltered from the wind?

41 of the 128 face away from the meltemi, meaning less open water in front of them for a wave to build across when it blows. It is not a guarantee — the same beach changes character when the wind turns. Check the live reading before you drive out.

How is this list ordered?

By how well known each beach is, not by a score of ours. Which beach is good on a given day changes hour by hour and cannot be printed on a static page — so this page carries the list and the things that do not change, and the live map carries the conditions.

When is the sea calmest here?

Across 111 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.42 m in June, 0.49 m in July and 0.54 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.54 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 128 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.3 °C in May, 22.8 °C in June, 25.4 °C in July, 26.1 °C in August and 24.5 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.7 °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.
