About this spot
Epirus Surf Center's own website confirms kitesurfing at Kastrosikia beach beside the Bouka restaurant, and Spots4Kite describes the same stretch: a west to north-west side-onshore thermal that builds around midday, initially 8–10 knots and typically 12–16 knots later, with the season given as June to September. The guide also lists instruction and beginners among its users.
The same guide describes water that deepens very close to shore with chop and small waves, so this is not a documented shallow, walkable training area — beginner lessons are reported, standing depth is not. Spots4Kite's embedded pin and Windy.app's separate forecast pin for "Kastrosikia surf" differ by roughly two kilometres; the marker here follows the named centre's pin, and neither is a surveyed launch point.

Needs local verification: Coordinate: Spots4Kite embedded spot pin for the centre's beach; Windy.app publishes a forecast pin about 2 km away that was not used. 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
- Water deepens close to shore
- Chop and small waves on the thermal
- Launch boundaries and current centre operation unconfirmed
