Is the water clean at Chiliadou?
Chiliadou sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. It sits in Central Greece. There's parking about ~90 m from the beach.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Excellent for 11 straight years. The nearest town, Μαναγούλη, is about ~2.2 km away.
That “Excellent” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. There are 6 places to eat within a kilometre — Καντίνα is the closest, about ~450 m away.
Frequently asked questions

What temperature is the sea at Chiliadou right now?

That's the reading right off Central Greece. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When should you plan a swimming trip to Chiliadou?
For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. That applies to the water around Central Greece. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Where does the water quality rating come from?
It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Chiliadou.
What's the easiest way to reach Chiliadou?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Χιλιαδού, about ~360 m away. The nearest town is Μαναγούλη, about ~2.2 km away.
