About this spot
Rhodes municipality lists Fanes as a kitesurfing location. Kite & Surf Rhodes describes a relatively wide, less crowded beach south of Theologos, a small shallow-water area near shore, and sideshore to side-onshore wind. A pier sits to the right of the kite area.
The guide records a kite centre and a combined kite/windsurf centre, but does not give a surveyed launch point, compass bearings or a verified learner-depth area. Fanes is included because the kite beach is documented, not because a school is required. Every wind sector is marked for local confirmation until directional guidance is verified.
