The port town Stylida is situated on the northern shore of the Malian Gulf, and at the southern foot of Mount Othrys, It is 17 km east of Lamia, the capital of Phthiotis.
Climate
[edit | edit source]Preliminary data from the station of the National Observatory of Athens indicate that the past few years Stylida has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification: BSh). Beck et.al (2023) also suggests that marginal nearby coastal areas of Phthiotis fall within this climate for the 1991-2020 period. [5] Stylida has mild winters and very hot summers. During the summer, the frequent Meltemi winds that blow in Greece may provide a strong Foehn effect in the area which is in the lea side of mountains of the central mainland. Most precipitation falls in autumn and during the winter.
