✓ 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.

In Sounio, KAPE is a wild pebble cove with crystal clear waters, ideal for snorkeling. Access is via a path, with no facilities. The bay has limited natural protection, so the sea can be open.

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 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 shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.

🌅 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.
