Meltemi wind

The Meltemi is a strong, seasonal northerly wind that dominates the Aegean Sea, particularly from June through September. Charter guests sailing in Greek waters will frequently encounter it during summer months. The wind can reach 20-40 knots and create challenging sea conditions, requiring careful sail management and navigation. Understanding the Meltemi's patterns is essential for planning Greek sailing itineraries and managing expectations about weather conditions during peak season.
