✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Agios Ioannis beach, also known as Anemomyloi, is the focal point of kitesurfing in Lefkada. The sandy shore, with a northwestern orientation, receives consistent winds that make it ideal for enthusiasts of the sport. The natural protection of the bay is minimal, allowing the wind to blow unobstructed. The landscape is complemented by the characteristic windmills.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces northwest. With southeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind. For kite and windsurf, look for days with northwesterly winds of 4+ Beaufort.

🌅 Sunset over the sea: all year round

The shore faces northwest (315°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.

An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
