What is known about the Thracian Sea?

The Thracian Sea, a northern part of the Aegean Sea, lies between the coasts of northern Greece and southern Bulgaria and Turkey. Due to its location, the sea experiences moderate seasonal temperature variations. In winter, coastal waters range from 50–55°F (10–13°C), making swimming quite cold and less common except for experienced cold-water swimmers. During summer, from June to September, the water warms significantly, reaching 75–81°F (24–27°C), creating excellent conditions for swimming and other water activities.

Swimming in the Thracian Sea is very popular in the summer months, especially along the coasts of Thassos, Samothrace, and northern Greece, where there are sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and mild waves. The warm temperatures and calm conditions make it ideal for relaxed swimming, snorkeling, and boating. However, as with many parts of the Aegean, occasional strong winds, especially the Meltemi winds in summer, can create waves and currents, so swimmers should stay aware of local conditions. Overall, the Thracian Sea is a great destination for those looking to enjoy warm and inviting waters in a scenic Mediterranean setting.
