Agrilaopotamos Beach Kitesurf Spot in Karpathos

Europe Kiteboard Spot in Greece

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!

The prevailing wind direction at Agrilaopotamos Beach is typically from the northwest, known as the Meltemi wind. This wind pattern is influenced by the thermal effects and pressure systems in the region. The wind strength can vary throughout the year. During the summer months, from June to September, the Meltemi winds can reach moderate to strong levels, ranging from 15 to 25 knots or more. These conditions are ideal for kitesurfing and attract many enthusiasts to the area. The Meltemi winds are generally consistent, blowing for several hours each day. However, it's important to note that wind conditions can vary from day to day, so it's advisable to check the weather forecast before heading out.
