Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of submerged rocks and uneven bottom terrainModerate ferry traffic in the Euboea Strait can create unexpected chop and requires vigilanceVariable wind direction shifts between NE and NW systems can change conditions rapidly

Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners, with gentle launches from the beach. NE and NNE winds are most consistent; check wind direction before committing as NW and S winds may be less favorable depending on beach orientation.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the moderate 8.4kt average winds, with a freestyle or all-around board suited to flat water. Have a larger kite (17-19m) available for lighter wind days to maximize your session frequency.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit works well year-round in Greece; lighter 2mm suits suffice in summer (Jul-Aug) when water temperatures peak. Winter months (Dec-Feb) benefit from a full 4/3mm suit despite mild Mediterranean conditions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities in the shallow waters and keep clear of boat traffic lanes. The small, beginner-friendly spot attracts mainly local kiters; maintain courteous spacing and follow established launch patterns.
