✓ 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.

At Issos, sand meets Lake Korission, creating a unique landscape with dunes. The open sea and steady winds make it ideal for kite surfing. The bay's natural shelter is minimal, giving the beach a wild, untouched character.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly 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 southwesterly winds of 4+ Beaufort.

🌅 Sunset over the sea: July–May

The shore faces southwest (220°), so from July to May the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.

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