Good to know
Which beaches in Korinthia are more sheltered from the wind?
11 of the 27 face away from the maistros, 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.
Which side of Korinthia is windier?
When the maistros blows (from NW/W), the beaches facing north and west are the most open to it: none of the 15 is sheltered from it. The more sheltered side faces east: all 10 of its beaches have land between them and the wind. When the wind turns, the picture turns with it, so 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 sea calmest here?
Across 23 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.11 m in June, 0.12 m in July and 0.12 m in August when the maistros is at its strongest, and 0.11 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 27 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.5 °C in May, 22.7 °C in June, 25.4 °C in July, 26.1 °C in August and 24.8 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 22.3 °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 Korinthia?
Over the last 20 summers, the hardest week in Korinthia starts around 14 August: 16 days in 100 had wind of 5 Beaufort or more. In a week's holiday between 7 August and 20 August, strong wind on about 1 of the 7 days. It comes for a day and drops. Even then, the most sheltered side was the east coast, with beaches fit for a swim such as Agion Theodoron and Loutraki Ag. Theodori. 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 6,072 people staying here. In October it drops to 36% of that peak — about 2,188 people, while in May it sits at 42%. 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.
