Water Temperature in Santorini: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the region: Σαντορίνη

Santorini, located in the southern Aegean Sea, offers a stunning coastline with waters that are as inviting as its breathtaking views. During the summer months (June to September), sea temperatures typically range between 24–26°C (75–79°F), creating perfect conditions for swimming and relaxing by the famous volcanic beaches like Kamari, Perissa, and Red Beach. The warm waters, combined with the island's unique black and red sands, make it a memorable experience for visitors.

In spring (April to May) and autumn (October to November), the sea remains moderately warm, averaging around 20–23°C (68–73°F). These seasons are ideal for travelers seeking a quieter atmosphere, as the beaches are less crowded, and the waters are still comfortable for swimming or snorkeling.

During the winter months (December to March), the sea cools to around 16–18°C (61–64°F). While not as warm, these temperatures are still suitable for adventurous swimmers or those who enjoy the serene beauty of Santorini’s coastline in the off-season.
