About Megalo Marathi
Megalo Marathi is a sandy beach on Messenia, facing west. Land shelters it from winds from the north, the north-east, the east, the south-east, and the south, so those winds leave the water flat here. It looks west over open sea, so the sun sets into the water. A dirt track leads to the beach. Nothing to eat or drink is mapped within 300 m, so bring water and shade. The sea is warmest in August, at about 26 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to October.
Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).
When is it busy?
Typical visitor levels around Messenia, month by month.
Messenia is busiest in August. In May, June, and October there are about half as many visitors, or fewer. For a flat sea and fewer people, the best months are June and July.
Visitor levels are nights spent in tourist accommodation in the Peloponnese region (Eurostat, average of 2023–2025), compared with its busiest month. They show when the area is busy, not how many people are on a given beach.
