Sandy Thermaikos beach whose guide entry documents an offshore summer thermal of up to 15 knots — offshore, so not treated as a teaching beach.

About this spot

SurfinGR documents kitesurfing at Palioura near Epanomi, publishes the position from its GPS field, and describes an offshore thermal wind from April to October reaching up to 15 knots, with some westerly onshore days the rest of the year; the same entry lists 4–10 and 11–16 knot categories, flat and choppy "flat warm waters" over sand, and substantial beach crowds from June to September.

The compass direction of that offshore thermal is not documented, so the launch cannot be given a safe and a dangerous sector, and depth and walkability are unpublished — the guide rates riders intermediate and above, and an offshore thermal argues against reading this as a teaching beach. The nearby wetland, the shipwreck and Paliouri on southern Kassandra are different places; the marker is the guide's own pin, not a surveyed launch corridor.
