The winds:
Concerning Greece sailing, the country’s winds can be divided in two sea regions: the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea.
The Aegean Sea Winds usually blow during the summer season, from May to September, but they are particularly known for the months of July and August. Those winds are called “Meltemi” and they are mostly blowing during the day and their average duration is from 2 to 4 days.
The “Meltemi” do not have the same direction in all the regions of the Ionian Seas. In the North Aegean, they come from the NE, in the central Aegean (Cyclades) from the North and in the South Aegean from the NW. The intensity of the winds depends on the region. One of the stronger Meltemi can be found in the Island of Naxos, in the Cyclades, which attracts many windsurfers.
Many winds blow on the Aegean Sea also during the winter with a power of 8-9 Beaufort.
The Ionian Sea Winds usually appear during summer season and are called “Maistros”. They are blowing from the NW. The winter winds of the Ionians are called “Sirocco”.
