About this spot
SurfinGR documents kitesurfing at Sykia with a west to north-west side-shore wind of typically 15–35 knots, year-round riding, and January–May, July–August and November–December rated best while June, September and October are medium; the same guide lists chop and waves including a 1–3 m category, currents, and numerous seasonal bathers on a pebble and stone beach.
Local tourism advertising from 2019 documents riding at Sykia and condition-dependent lessons with a visiting school, but a currently operating resident school is unverified, and shallow or walkable depth and beginner suitability are not documented. The marker reproduces the guide's published beach coordinate, a spot marker rather than a verified launch corridor.
