Good to know
Which beaches in Othonoi 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 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 3 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.73 m in June, 0.76 m in July and 0.72 m in August when the maistros is at its strongest, and 0.78 m in September. August 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 3 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.4 °C in May, 21.7 °C in June, 23.4 °C in July, 25.1 °C in August and 24.3 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. In October it is still 22.2 °C — warmer than June. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.
