Mouros Beach (Amorgos)

36° 47.1′ N · 25° 49.6′ E

A dramatic cove of white pebbles and caves on Amorgos's south coast below Vroutsi, and a proven meltemi hideout.

Practical

Grecosailor skipper reports: a good meltemi hiding spot, with crews seeing 15-20 kn inside while 45-50 kn blew offshore. Crystal-clear water over sand. Deeper than charted, so anchor closer to the beach. amorgos.gr: rocky and stone beach, a 10-minute walk from the road. Mouros taverna is up on the road (OSM). Open to the south.

Meltemi bolt-hole on the south coast
