Kremaski Beach

Wind conditions are pretty consistent in Kremasti for kitesurfing, especially throughout the months of June, July and August. During these months, the temperature usually exceeds 30 degrees and remains pleasantly warm even at night, so you won't need a wetsuit for kiteboarding, and you can leave your winter jacket at home. The chance of wind is usually over 90%, and the days are typically sunny with hardly any rain during the summer. 

The Meltemi thermal wind usually picks up through the morning and blows from the left side of the beach. Between Rhodes and Turkey, it takes a westward swing and pushes its way through the straits so it accelerates into Kremasti. Usually it starts out light in the morning but will average somewhere around 15-20 knots in the afternoon, ideal for learning to kitesurf or practice your best tricks. If you are lucky you will get a morning session, and it’s a perfect spot for hydrofoil kiting as it gets deep quickly. As it’s a thermal spot the forecasts don’t always show exactly what’s going on, so if in doubt contact the local schools for a more in depth explanation of what to look for in the forecast to guarantee wind.

The area near the kite spot of Kremasti Beach and the wider Rhodes area are very family friendly, with plenty of other options for activities. The seaside taverns, bars and restaurants will seduce you with cool ice coffee and scrumptious Greek meals. In the afternoon, you can bring the kids to one of the beach hotel pools to splash around while you try your hand at a variety of water sports.

Rodos city has a rich and varied history, so take a wonderful stroll through the Turkish Quarter, and a delectable seafood supper at the city port. To the north, the metropolitan Ixia beach awaits you, while to the east, the village of Faliraki tempts you with a wild night in one of the most popular sites in the entire Dodecanese island chain. Of course no visit to Rhodes would be complete without visiting the medieval city of Rhodes, where you can visit the museums or just wander around and take in all the historical buildings and sites.

The closest Airport to Kremasti is Rhodes International Airport, which is only 10 minutes from the beach. Most likely you’ll want to move around the island a little and having your own transport will make your life much easier, so we’d recommend renting a car for the duration of your kite trip.
