About Paralia Makrylies

Paralia Makrylies is a beach on Samothraki, facing south-west. Land shelters it from winds from the north and the north-east, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the south-east, the south, the south-west, and the west arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. A road 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 25 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to September.

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?
