Greece is one of the best destinations in the world for kitesurfing.
Surrounded by water from side to side, Greece expands its touristic approach guided by wind and water. The sport of kitesurfing (also known as kiteboarding) became very popular in our country as its really easy to learn how to kitesurf in Greece and the wind conditions are just spectacular. Cape Drepano has a long and respectful history because between many kitesurfing spots that Greece has to offer, this spot provides some of the best conditions in the whole country, and dare we say, in the whole of Europe. Consistent and high capacity wind, almost every day, all year around combined with butter flat terrain make this spot unique.
From the early years of kitesurfing Cape Drepano riders were some of the first that involved to the progression and recognition of the sport in our country.
A great place to do kiteboarding lessons and progress your riding.
A world class spot.
