KNOW-HOW
Chora & The Wind: A Survivor's Guide
Where to hide from the meltemi and how to experience the noble capital.
Many fear the Cycladic winds, but in Chora, we’ve learned to embrace them. Built on a peninsula that cuts through the Aegean, Chora offers an aristocratic charm you won't find anywhere else in the islands.
Where to Swim when it’s Windy:
• Neimporio: Right at your doorstep! This bay is naturally protected from the north winds (meltemi). Ideal for families.
• Piso Gialia: A small paradise with a great beach bar that remains calm even when the wind hits 7 Beaufort.
Chora’s Must-See Landmarks:
• The Invisible Sailor: The island's symbol at the edge of the old town. The view of the Venetian Castle and the Tourlitis Lighthouse is legendary.
• Culture: The Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art hosts world-class exhibitions every summer (Picasso, Miro, etc.).
• The Agora: The marble-paved main street with neoclassical captains' mansions is the heart of our social life.
