Paralia Loutsa: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a fair day for a coastal visit, though perhaps better suited for relaxing on the shore than taking a dip. You will find plenty of bright intervals throughout the day, so keep in mind that the UV Index is 7.25, making sun protection essential if you are lounging on the sand. While the air temperature reaches 19.8 °C, the sea remains quite crisp at 18.1 °C, so it is not ideal for swimming today. Expect a noticeable breeze moving across the beach, which might make things feel a bit cooler than the air temperature suggests. The water is generally calm with only gentle movement, providing a peaceful backdrop for your afternoon. It is a pleasant day for a walk or a picnic, provided you dress in layers to stay comfortable.
