About this spot

SurfinGR publishes a GPS position for Faneromeni and documents kite use with a cross/side-onshore wind arriving from the right, a May–October season and a shallow entry, while noting the spot runs one or two Beaufort lighter than Sigri and that waves reach about 1.5 m. The same guide states that a prominent rock divides the beach and that the channel between them is recommended only for experienced riders, with swimmers common at weekends.

The compass direction of the usable wind is not documented, only its shore-relative angle, and no flat walkable teaching area is described — the beginner flag is therefore withheld despite the shallow entry. Launch boundaries, the current swimmer arrangement and the status of the rock channel need local confirmation.

Wind safety and operating limits remain unknown; no ride or kite-size advice is issued. Sources confirm only the facts explicitly attributed to them.
