💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Ai Giannis - Myloi”, 381 m from the beach)
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.
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.
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.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with southeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
