Good to know

Which beaches in Thesprotia are the most secluded?

The beaches listed here are remote and usually have no facilities. Access can be rough — a dirt track, a hike or boat-only — so plan ahead and bring supplies.

What should I know before swimming at remote beaches?

Remote beaches have no lifeguards or services. Avoid strong wind, big waves and swimming alone, and check live wind and waves in the app first.

When is the sea calmest here?

Across 5 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.40 m in June, 0.42 m in July and 0.39 m in August when the maistros is at its strongest, and 0.42 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 5 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 19.5 °C in May, 23.0 °C in June, 24.7 °C in July, 26.0 °C in August and 24.8 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 22.6 °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.
