Top Wave Kiteboarding Spots in Greece

Kohilari Beach
Greece - Kohilari Beach

The Kohilari kite spot is located in the Western part of Kos, just North of Kefalos. Beginners and skilled kitesurfers will love the 2km long soft and sandy Kohilari Beach, and it's a perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous sunset view. To get over here, you'll need a car, but it’s well worth it: a relaxing ambiance, beautiful landscapes, and scrumptious food. The dreamy Kohilary Beach has shallow turquoise water which breaks into small white waves with a large blue sky above. The best months to visit Kos - Kohilari Beach for kitesurfing are June, July, and August. The Kohilari kite school in Kefalos is ideal for kitesurfers who want to play in the waves, but also has some flat sections in between if you're into freestyle kiteboarding.

Lefkada beach
Greece - Lefkada beach
Kitesurfing in Lefkada is one of the most popular water sports on the island! Not far from Agios Nikolaos, a small and idyllic town, are several Kite Spots, which are excellent to visit by camper. Every year people from all over the world flock to Lefkada for kitesurfing, because Lefkas boasts ideal wind conditions with constant thermal winds every day after noon.
Theologos Beach
Greece - Theologos Beach
The Kite Spot Theologos is on a narrow but long sandy and pebble beach close from the center of Rhodos. The beach falls off quite quickly. The cozy village of Theologos is a perfect starting point to experience the Greek flair and to enjoy excursions in Rhodes. On some days a nice wave on the sandbank and a moderate shorebreak build up in the shore area.
Psalidi Beach
Greece - Psalidi Beach

The Greek islands are a goldmine for warm summer kite spots, and Psalidi beach is no exception. The Meltemi thermal wind coupled with a venturi effect between Turkey and the Greek coast make for a reliably windy spot, great for kitesurfing and only a few hours flight from the rest of Europe. The island of Kos offers a little bit of something for everyone, so like much of Greece Psalidi beach makes for a great “family holiday mixed with kitesurfing” destination, and any non kitesurfers will find plenty of other things to do. However, it can be a bit overly touristy in the school holidays (July and August) so it really depends on what you are after.

Mikri Vigla
Greece - Mikri Vigla

Mikri Vigla is one of Naxos Island's safest and most attractive kite spots with consistent wind thanks to the Meltemi thermal, gorgeous turquoise waters and a long sandy beach. Even if you are not interested in kiteboarding, it is one of the most popular beaches to visit in Naxos. The village has a number of kite schools so you will encounter plenty of like minded individuals if you take a wander around. The kitesurf spot at Mikri Vigla is suitable for all levels of kiteboarding, from beginners to the most experienced freestylers.

Marmari Beach
Greece - Marmari Beach

Marmari beach offers the strongest wind for kitesurfing in Kos, thanks to a venturi effect between two islands located a few kilometers offshore. It is located in a small, picturesque Greek town on the Northern coast of Kos, which draws visitors with its beautiful beach, traditional Greek flare and a plethora of restaurants and pubs. Marmari is ideal for kitesurfers and windsurfers alike, with plenty of space and the strong wind giving awesome conditions for both. The kite school is located on the beach, sheltered at the foot of the cliffs, about a 10-minute walk from the kiteboarding area and 2 kilometers from Marmari's main town.

Sigri
Greece - Sigri

Located on the western side of Lesvos Island, Sigri is a small fishing village with a protected bay and consistent thermal wind all through the summer, making it a great flat water kitesurfing and windsurfing spot. The Meltemi wind which blows from May until October means there is wind most days, so the lack of local amenities won’t be a problem as you’ll probably spend all of your time on the water anyway. There’s no ATM or petrol station in town, so you need to think ahead if you are coming here, but the relaxed local vibe, traditional buildings and local restaurants offering fantastically fresh seafood all add up to a great package if you want to unwind and get away from it all.
