Astros is a spot on the east coast of the Peloponnese, in Arcadia, on the Argolic Gulf. Unlike the spots at the head of the gulf (Nafplio, Nea Kios), Astros is positioned further south, on the gulf's eastern coast, facing east. This position gives it better exposure to wind from the Aegean Sea.
The spot offers a dual regime: N/NE wind (attenuated Meltemi penetrating the gulf) and SE wind (thermal breeze and depression winds). The Arcadian coast is magnificent and not very touristy, offering a preserved natural setting.
Afternoon sessions with attenuated Meltemi or thermal breeze (May-September). Semi-protected gulf water with slightly more chop than Nafplio. Good compromise between protection and wind for intermediates.
Semi-protected water. Chop of 20-50cm in moderate Meltemi. Sandy and rocky bottom. Clear water. Temperature: 22-26°C in summer.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Parking along the coastal road and in Astros village. Small beach resort with tavernas and accommodation. Tripoli 40 min, Nafplio 30 min away. The medieval tower of Astros overlooks the beach.
Rocks on the sides of the beach. Pleasure boats. Moderate currents in the gulf. Some sea urchins on rocky bottom.
Dual wind regime: N/NE Meltemi arrives attenuated in the Argolic Gulf, offering side-onshore conditions on this east coast. E/SE thermal breeze develops in the afternoon. Typical strength: 10-18 knots. Windier than Nafplio thanks to eastern exposure toward the Aegean Sea.
