@annecaunce 3 года назад

Although I live in the UK, kefalonia is where my heart is and I'm a regular visitor. The pandemic has led to the cancellation of flights into the island and they're only just restarting from London airports, which is why there are no tourists. So strange and sad to see Poros, Lourdas and especially Scala and Assos without the usual bustle and I know the tourist industry there is in dire straits as a result. Cannot wait to return to the most beautiful place on earth and praying the locals can survive long enough for tourists to return and help rebuild their economy.

@roothik 3 года назад

It takes a few more weeks for the water to warm up a bit. By July the water is quite warner, by August and September even more. I think though that the Ionian sea is a bit colder than the Aegean. And the Golf of Corinth which is nearby is even colder.

@andraskleistenes8586 3 года назад

I think , the Ionian see is warmer then the the Aegean see, usually, not talking about the Aegean islands are much more windy. The bays like Thermikos, Saronikos are warmer near to the mainland Greece, on the Aegean side, of course. I would go for the warmest water to Zante , Tolon ( Argolis bay) South of Peloponese , and Southern Crete. You can find the coldest see water in the northeastern part of the Agean see. This spring was unusually cold in Europe, so the see is not as warm as usual in June...

@roothik 3 года назад

@@andraskleistenes8586 I don't think wind velocity is making any big difference regarding water temperature (but wind direction is). In western and central Greece there are many underground water streams, flowing from the mountains to the coast, which are regionally causing quite cold water, especially in the golf of Corinth and in parts of the Ionian, which is also the case for some islands. With western winds and currents the water gets even colder in some areas.

Amazing video man! If you want a hike when you go to Lefkada you can go to Mylos beach and then Egkremnoi where a recent earthquake took out much of the road and you'll have to even rapel down at some point. They look similar to Myrtos (like most beaches on the west side) but Egkremnoi is even more epic. And ofcourse Porto Katsiki and some others like Agiofuli beach which looks like a natural pool. You'll not believe your eyes. Enjoy!

Stay in Agios Nikitas and from there, go to Mylos beach from the path that starts from the village. When you will be reaching the top of the cliff, hold your jaw, because when you see the view, it will drop, definitely! Also, when you go to Porto Katsiki, remember to go early in the morning, so as to see the beach from above, with the shade of the rocks covering the beach and the water! You'll thank me later(2023 maybe)... Keep on with your wonderful work!
