Good to know

Which beaches in Fthiotida are more sheltered from the wind?

3 of the 20 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 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 4 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.14 m in June, 0.17 m in July and 0.18 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.19 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 20 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.6 °C in May, 23.0 °C in June, 25.7 °C in July, 26.4 °C in August and 24.8 °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.

When is the weather worst in Fthiotida?

Over the last 20 summers there was no hard stretch in Fthiotida: even the windiest week had wind of 5 Beaufort or more on only 2 days in 100. The coast here is open, with no clearly sheltered corner to fall back on. 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 3,125 people staying here. At both ends of the season, May and October, it stays around 29% of that peak. 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.
