Paralia Anissaras: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, May 5, 2026
Today is a decent day for a coastal visit, though perhaps better suited for a relaxing stroll along the shore than a full day in the water. While the sun will be shining brightly throughout the day, the air temperature reaches a modest 20.3 °C, keeping things comfortable rather than hot. You will notice a noticeable breeze blowing across the sand, which may make it feel a bit cooler when you step out of the sun. The sea remains quite crisp at 17.9 °C, so it is not ideal for swimming today. With the waves showing some activity, it is a great time to enjoy the sound of the surf. Please be mindful of the sun, as the UV Index is 7.85, so remember to wear protection.
