✓ 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.

The beach of Archaia Epidavros combines pebbles and shallow waters, offering safe swimming. Its unique feature is the sunken ancient city just a few meters from the shore, making it ideal for snorkeling among antiquities. The bay is naturally protected, keeping the waters calm.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces northeast. With southwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
