== Maestral or maestro in the Adriatic == Similar names—''maestral'' or ''maestro''—are used for (although also mostly northwestern) a quite different wind in the [[Adriatic Sea]]. It is an [[Anabatic wind|anabatic]] [[Sea breeze|sea-breeze]] wind which blows in the summer when the east Adriatic coast gets warmer than the sea. It is thus a mild sea-to-coast wind, unlike the mistral. The strong [[katabatic wind]] there is the northeastern [[Bora (wind)|bora]]. In Greece, it is also known as ''maïstros'' or ''maïstráli''. In southwestern Crete, it is considered the most beneficial wind, said to blow only in daytime.
