March to November offers excellent paddling conditions: clear skies and calm seas with warm water and air temperatures. The island is most beautiful during April & May when the countryside is green after the winter rains with an abundance of wildflowers. June, September and October have the ideal combination of moderate air temperatures and warmer water temperatures – perfect for paddling and swimming. July and August are the hottest months with 13 hours of daily sunshine, water temperatures above 22 degrees, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The warm summer nights are ideal for moonlit strolls and eating outdoors. A good nights’ sleep is assured in the comfort of our air-conditioned guesthouse. March and November see very few visitors to the Greek Islands. Airfares from northern Europe are very low and as kayakers, we virtually have the islands to ourselves. The mild temperatures of early Spring and late Autumn are recommended if you are more interested in kayaking than swimming – perfect for our longer expeditions.

The Winter weather is affected by continental cold fronts passing every 7-10 days. This results in windy, cold and wet weather for 2-4 days followed by a mild and sunny period. After the rains we are rewarded with an exceptionally clear atmosphere providing stunning views to the other Cyclades.
