About this spot
SurfinGR describes a designated beginners' zone on the sea-facing side of the Agios Nikolaos spit where water stays waist-deep for around 30 m, flat to small chop, with an offshore reef damping the waves, and a first-hand instructional travel report independently describes the same waist-depth cross-onshore conditions. The same guide lists shells, bathers and busy teaching areas, and several schools operate at the complex, one of them reporting a safety boat.
The opposite, lagoon-facing side of the same spit is the freestyle area — exceptionally flat and shallow, but with offshore drift there, and SurfinGR states beginner teaching is explicitly forbidden in that zone. Both faces sit inside one spot marker because the sources publish a single complex-level coordinate, so riders must confirm on site which face and which zone the wind suits; the published depth figures are descriptive reports, not a survey.

Access & parking
Named beach only; current launch boundaries, permissions and access restrictions need local confirmation.
Parking: Not verified
Amenities
- Kite schools at the complex (IDAS reported with a safety boat — current operation unconfirmed)
Needs local verification: Coordinate: Published complex-level spot pin (38.87746, 20.78083); the lagoon-side launch has no separate documented coordinate. Coordinates are approximate spot markers, not surveyed launch points. Wind safety and operating limits remain unknown; no ride or kite-size advice is issued. Sources confirm only the facts explicitly attributed to them.
Local hazards
- Shells at the entry
- Bathers and busy teaching zones — keep to the designated area
- Lagoon face has offshore drift and teaching is forbidden there
- Two very different faces share one marker
