Good to know
Which beaches in Samos are organized?
The beaches listed here are marked as organized, usually with sunbeds, umbrellas and food or a beach bar nearby. Facilities can change by season, so confirm locally.
Are organized beaches less windy?
Not necessarily. Facilities do not change the wind or waves — check live conditions in the app and compare less exposed beaches on windy days.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 19 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.67 m in June, 0.81 m in July and 0.76 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.64 m in September. September 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 19 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 19.0 °C in May, 21.8 °C in June, 22.7 °C in July, 23.8 °C in August and 23.1 °C in September — mild at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.4 °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.
Wind and waves change every day. See live conditions for any of these beaches before you drive out.
