Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 25.2 °C and 26 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Greece in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.6 °C warmer than the Greece median for August (25.6 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 19.1 °C, warmer than 54% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (82 mm) and August the driest (16 mm); the yearly total is about 560 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 14.9 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:11 and sets at 20:54 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-east (35°). Open water fills about 50% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 240° to 302°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the north-east the next coast is roughly 200 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 49 m deep and 206 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 198 m above sea level 500 m inland and 408 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 95% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 49% of that circle.
