About this spot

SurfinGR documents kite use at Liani Ammos beside the road and tennis courts in Chalkida, lists north and north-west as best with an onshore classification, and explicitly describes the water as shallow, muddy and suitable for learning kiteboarding. The same page cautions that the spot works only with a strong north because of the surrounding terrain, that the wind is often unstable and gusty, that sharp rocks sit on the entry and exit, and that the bay shows substantial tidal exposure with waves when the north is strong.

Because the same source says the bay is not consistently covered with water, the shallow bottom cannot be read as a reliable standing-depth training area, and no typical strength figure, precise season or school operation is documented. The marker is an OpenStreetMap approximation for Chalkida; the exact stretch by the tennis courts and the current launch rules need on-site confirmation.

Needs local verification: Coordinate: OpenStreetMap place marker for Chalkida; the tennis-court stretch is named in the source but not separately pinned. 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

  • Sharp rocks on entry and exit
  • Gusty, unstable wind channelled by the terrain
  • Six-hour tidal cycle exposes the bottom
  • Waves when the north is strong
