Good to know

Where do I snorkel when the north wind blows?

2 of the beaches listed here face away from all three northerly directions, based on their orientation: Akti Agapis, Votsalakia. That usually means less chop and better visibility while the Meltemi is up — orientation is a strong hint, not a promise, so check wind and waves before you go.

Which beaches in Methana are good for snorkeling?

The beaches listed here have rockier seabed and clearer water, where you are more likely to see fish and underwater life. Conditions vary, so check the forecast before you go.

When is snorkeling more comfortable?
