Wind and water conditions
Local points to watch: boat traffic, swimmers, cliffs, wind and gusts. On the day of your outing at Liapades Beach, check the forecast, water conditions and local restrictions. Before setting out, check access and the limits applicable to your craft with the competent authority; this guide does not certify a navigable route. Wear a suitable buoyancy aid. In the Liapades area, FEK 2445/B/2020 prohibits all motorised and non-motorised craft from approaching the defined bay of Chomoi and prohibits swimming there because of rock hazards. This restriction does not cover the whole of Liapades Beach. Do not include Chomoi in an outing without official confirmation that the prohibition has been lifted. Greek sea-use rules (kayak, SUP): stay within 500 m of the coast, operate only between sunrise and sunset, and wear an individual lifejacket. Use is prohibited in adverse weather; private use is also prohibited in reduced visibility or winds above 5 Beaufort (38 km/h), subject to stricter specific rules. Lower wind speeds do not guarantee safety. These rules do not establish permission to launch locally.
