Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 79°F (26°C) to 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, allowing for extended stays without any discomfort. Swimming in these conditions will be particularly enjoyable, making it the ideal temperature range for those who want to relax in the sea. Additionally, water in this temperature range is suitable for children and elderly people, as it is comfortable for prolonged stays. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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.

The Haliacmon (Αλιάκμονας) is a mountain‑fed river in Western Macedonia whose water temperature varies considerably through the year because of elevation, inflows and reservoirs. Typical winter surface temperatures near upstream and shaded reaches commonly fall between about 4–9 °C (39–48 °F), while lowland stretches and the Polyfytos reservoir can be a little warmer. In spring the river usually warms to roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F) as snowmelt subsides and daylight increases. Summer surface temperatures in the calmer, sunlit pools and broader sections tend to range from about 16–24 °C (61–75 °F), with the warmest readings in shallow, slow areas. In autumn the water cools again to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as air temperatures decline and flows pick up.
Swimming is possible in many parts of the Haliacmon, particularly in slower, shallower stretches and reservoir beaches where access is permitted, but it is not uniformly recommended everywhere. Local rules or signs can prohibit entry close to dams, intakes and rapid currents for safety reasons, and strong currents, sudden depth changes and cold water shock in shoulder seasons are real hazards. Water quality is generally acceptable in popular spots but can vary after heavy rain or upstream activity, so swimmers should follow posted guidance, choose established recreational areas and be cautious about cold temperatures outside high summer.
