About this spot

SurfinGR identifies this beach 300–350 m south-west of the local harbour, reached by a short dirt road, as a kitesurfing launch and publishes its GPS position. The guide describes a north Meltemi arriving sideshore to side-offshore, a May–August best window, flat to choppy water with depth increasing gradually over sand, pebbles and rocks, and rates the spot intermediate and above with no walkable extent published.

The rocky seabed and the offshore component of the direction are the two facts a rider most needs before launching, and neither a typical knot range nor a kite school is documented here. The pin is SurfinGR's published position for the beach rather than a surveyed launch point; the offshore angle, the rock positions and any local access rules require confirmation on site.
