About this beach
The bay at Vathy opens to the west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds. Orientation only reflects which way the coast faces, not confirmed shelter, so check wind and waves in the app before you go.
Vathy has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water.
