About this spot

SurfinGR documents kitesurfing on the east-side sea beach at Nea Potidea, publishes the GPS pin, and names north-west as best with east and south-south-east also listed. Its depth category indicates clear shallow water for only a short initial walk before it becomes too deep to stand, the beach is sandy, and the entry warns of many bathers from June to August.

The onshore or offshore classification of those directions is not documented and must not be inferred from the coastline, and no wind season, typical strength, hazard inventory or named kite operator is published for this stretch — the guide rates riders intermediate and above, so no beginner flag is set. This record covers only the east-side beach: it says nothing about the Potidea Canal, its mouths or the western beach, and the marker is the guide's pin rather than a surveyed launch corridor.
