*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
In the Xanthi area of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, freshwater bodies range from the larger river corridors such as the Nestos to small reservoirs, ponds and brackish lagoons on the plains. Seasonal surface temperatures in these inland waters typically run from roughly 5–10 °C (41–50 °F) in winter, rising to about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) through spring. In summer sheltered lakes and slow-flowing stretches can warm to around 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), while shallow lagoons and ponds on hot days sometimes reach the upper 20s °C (around 75–82 °F). Mountainous and fast-flowing river sections remain cooler year-round, often 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in summer because of shading and continual flow.
Swimming is possible in many calm stretches and reservoirs when temperatures are favorable, but whether it is allowed depends on local rules, water quality and safety conditions. Protected wetlands and lagoons near Xanthi are often subject to conservation measures or water-quality advisories that discourage or prohibit bathing. Fast currents, cold depths and uneven riverbeds also make some river sections unsafe for casual swimming, even in warm months. Visitors should look for designated bathing spots, heed official signage and local guidance, and consider seasonal temperature changes and flow conditions before entering the water.
