About Kechrias Beach

Kechrias Beach is a beach on Skiathos, facing north-west. Land shelters it from winds from the north-east, the east, the south-east, and the south, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the north-west arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. It looks west over open sea, so the sun sets into the water. A road leads to the beach. Within 300 m there are 1 taverna or restaurant. The sea is warmest in August, at about 26 °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).
