Beach Radar tracks 12 beaches in Cyclades, 7 of them organized. 2 of them sit in enclosed bays with a shelter index of 0.45 or higher, which keeps the water swimmable even on breezy days. The shores face several different directions, so there is almost always a sheltered side. Every beach has its own page with a live score — wind, waves and water temperature at the moment you look.
🏖️ See the live ranking for Cyclades →The shores of Cyclades do not all face the same way: 5 beaches look south and 2 look east. That is an advantage — there is almost always a sheltered side. A northerly wind flattens the shores facing south, while a westerly wind flattens those facing east. The live score on each beach shows which side is working on the day you ask.
