✓ 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.

Pine forest meets golden sand on one of the most famous beaches of the Sporades. Shallow, crystal-clear waters and natural bay protection create ideal swimming conditions. Organized facilities ensure comfort, while the landscape remains enchanting.

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 south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly 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: November–January

The shore faces south (180°), so from November to January 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.
