Europe Kiteboard Spot in Greece

Agrilaopotamos Beach

The Kite Spot on the island Karpathos is best known as the "strong wind island" in the Aegean. Located between Crete and Rhodes, Karpathos has something of everything: in the north you can find authentic mountain villages and pine forests - in the south, the landscape is rather barren and rugged, but the sea is crystal clear, and there are hardly any large hotel complexes.

Kitesurfing in Karpathos was undetected and in the shadow of other Greek islands. Perfect sideshore wind conditions, a lagoon with crystal clear water, some shallow water and a reef with a clean wave make the spot a real pearl!
