Best Kiteboarding and Wing-foiling spots in Greece

The best kite and wing locations in Greece are situated in the Cyclades region and they are only reachable by boat. A catamaran, with its shallow draft, is ideal for accessing these perfect spots and getting close to the shore.

Meltemi, the Wind in Greece

Kite and Wing sizes

Choosing the appropriate kite and wing sizes is crucial to fully enjoy this trip! We recommend bringing 7m and 10m kites for a 70 kg (154 lbs) rider, 9m and 12m kites for an 80 kg (176 lbs) rider, and 10m and 14m kites for heavier riders. Ideally, you would need 3 different kite sizes to cover all wind strength options, but we know that traveling with excessive luggage is a nightmare. We offer kite equipment rental to reduce your luggage and can complement the kite you don’t intend to bring.

For wing sizes, we recommend bringing 2.8m and 4.5m wings for a 70 kg (154 lbs) rider, 3.4m and 5.5m wings for an 80 kg (176 lbs) rider, and 4.2m and 6.7m wings for heavier riders. The choice of wing foil board should depend on your weight and experience. Rental options and lessons are available if needed. We offer wing rental to reduce your luggage, especially since the wing-foil board can be challenging to travel with, and can complement some of the gear you are bringing.

 After 10 years running Kiteboarding Cruise, people have a lot to say about us

brian miller review

It was an absolutely fantastic week! We could not have asked for a better week-long experience. Tomaz went out of his way to find the perfect kiting spots and on non-wind days we were able to snorkel, swim, SUP and/or venture onto quaint Greek islands.

Brian Miller
Andreas Limbouris review

An exceptional captain and kiteboarding instructor who made us feel part of a crew. He went above and beyond in meeting the expectations of both kiteboarders and non-kiteboarders, made us feel safe on-board and is certainly someone you would enjoy spending time with

chris nunn review

What an amazing trip! Tomaz and Dasa were so helpful in setting up logistics, and Jose and Maria were an amazing captain/chef combo! So accommodating and genuinely fun! The food was amazing, and the kiting even better! The most epic kite spots I’ve ever kited!

Chris Nunn
review

The trip was epic. I highly recommend it to anybody who is in love with the sea and kiting. Tomaz, the captain is knowledgeable of both sailing and kiting. We were five kiters celebrating a b-day. Tomaz took very good care of us. He brought us to areas unreachable by land with steady side-shore or off-shore winds. He was always available with the tender boat to assist when necessary. Peace of mind for new kiters or Wing goers. Tomaz has a calm attitude and he gave us different options every day about our itinerary.. 

Christian Fasulo
review

The catamaran is spacious, comfortable and beautiful. Tomas is a very experienced captain and made sure we had the best conditions and experience. He was very helpful with the kite setup process and keeping an eye out when you are riding. Chef Bernard prepared some of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had and also helped the kiters when needed.. Both are awesome personalities and bring the whole trip to life..

review

I AM SO GLAD I DID THIS!!! I can’t say enough great things about this trip- it was amazing! The kite spots were wide open and beautiful, the food was delicious, and Alvaro and Stefano were fun company throughout, going above and beyond to make sure my trip hit a high note. A special shoutout to both of them! I loved the kiting footage as well, the drone shots were a real bonus. Many thanks to Tomaz and Dasa for a great week, it was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope to catch you all again in Greece ?

An unbelievably incredible and memorable experience. Tomaz runs his company with considerable professionalism, not skipping the small details that really take the trip to the next level. A special shout out to Desroy and all his hard work and Frank for all his excellent meals!

Roger Anderson review

We all greatly appreciated the wonderful meals, keeping the adventure safely moving, and rescuing us when our kites pulled us out into the ocean. This was definately a “Bucket List” adventure with no disappointments.

Roger Anderson

We’ve just returned from our second fantastic holiday with KBC Marco and Mr. were brilliant hosts and made the week stress-free, relaxing and fun. Nothing was too much effort for them, and they really put themselves out to make our week as enjoyable as possible. The group we met on the boat were so much fun and made the whole experience really memorable..

What to Expect on Your Kiteboarding Cruise in Greece

How is the wind?

The Meltemi is a northern wind that arises from late May to late September. Its peak strength occurs during the summer months of June through August. In the morning, it is usually a gentle wind, blowing at around 11-16 knots. As the day progresses, it accelerates to approximately 22-27 knots. The wind is most powerful during the afternoon and evening before calming down at night. This cool breeze doesn’t just provide the best kiteboarding and wingfoiling conditions, but also offers a much-needed break from the heat, making trips even more enjoyable as it naturally cools the overheated landscape, benefiting both locals and tourists.

The ancient Greeks were familiar with the Meltemi, referring to it as the Etesian or “annual wind” because it returned every year. The origin of the name Meltemi remains uncertain—it could be derived from the Latin “mal tempo” (bad weather) or the Turkish “meltem” (gentle breeze). Interestingly, the Greeks now call it Meltemi, while the Turkish term Etezyen is derived from the original Greek word.

Despite potentially originating from the Turkish word for “gentle breeze,” the Meltemi can be quite powerful. It typically blows with a force of 5 to 7 degrees on the Beaufort scale but can escalate to a gale force of 9 degrees. In the straits between the islands, it has been known to reach 11 degrees, or over 100 km/h. When this occurs, shipping traffic halts, and boats must be securely fastened in anticipation of the wind passing.

 

How to get here?

To get to Parikia, Paros island from anywhere in the world, you can follow these steps:

Fly to Athens, Mykonos, or Santorini: These three islands have international airports and are well-connected to major cities around the world. You can search for flights from your location to any of these three airports using online travel platforms.

From there, you can catch a ferry to Paros. The ferry schedules vary depending on the time of year, so it’s best to check the ferry company’s website or ask for information at the port. The ferry ride from Athens takes around 4-5 hours, from Mykonos takes 2 hours, and from Santorini takes 2-3 hours.

Or take a connecting flight from Athens to Paros: If you prefer to fly directly to Paros, you can take a connecting flight from Athens. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air operate several flights per day from Athens International Airport to Paros Island National Airport, with a flight time around 40-45 minutes. You can book the flight tickets directly from the airlines’ websites or from online travel platforms.

Once you reach Paros by ferry, you are already within walking distance from our boat. If taking a flight to get to Paros, you can take a taxi or a bus to reach Parikia, which is the main port and capital of the island. The distance between Paros airport and Parikia is around 10 km, and the journey takes around 20-25 minutes by taxi.

What kite or wing sizes do I need?

To ensure you have an amazing time on the water, it’s essential to choose the right kite and wing sizes for your trip. Below, we provide some recommendations for an 80 kg (176 lbs) rider, but keep in mind that the wind conditions may vary.

Recommended Kite Sizes for an 80 kg (176 lbs) Rider:

  1. 7m Kite: A smaller kite is ideal for stronger wind conditions. The 7m kite will allow you to ride comfortably and maintain control when the wind picks up.

  2. 9m Kite: This size is perfect for moderate wind conditions, providing a balance between power and maneuverability. If you’re traveling with only two kites, we recommend bringing a 9m kite as one of your options.

  3. 12m Kite: For lighter wind conditions, a 12m kite offers more power and helps you get up and ride more easily. If you’re limited to two kites for your trip, the 12m kite should be your second choice.

While these are our recommended sizes, it’s important to remember that wind conditions can be unpredictable. Sometimes, you may encounter stronger winds that make the 7m kite a perfect choice, while other times, lighter winds might require a 14m kite for an optimal experience.

As for wing sizes, we recommend a range from 3.4m to 6.5m, with 4m or 5m wings being the most commonly used in Greece. The choice of wing foil board should be based on your weight and experience. Keep in mind that we have wing foil boards and wings available for rent or for lessons if needed.

How does the typical day look like?

Our days are packed with adventure, excitement, and breathtaking scenery. Here’s a sneak peek into what you can expect during a typical day on board:

We start our day with a delicious breakfast at 8 am, freshly prepared by our talented chef. We cater to all dietary requirements and preferences, so you can enjoy your meal with ease.

The morning is dedicated to kiteboarding and wing-foiling. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the techniques and provide valuable tips to help you master the sport. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced rider, our team will ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

During the day, we also take breaks to snorkel, stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and visit beautiful beaches. The crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean are perfect for snorkeling, where you can spot colorful marine life and admire the underwater landscape.

We have lunch at 1 pm, of course, served on board. Our chef prepares a delicious spread of Mediterranean cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Sometimes we move after lunch to a new spot, or we stay where we are and continue with water activities, only to set sail the next morning.

At 7 pm, we have dinner on board, which is another culinary delight. Our chef creates a delicious three-course meal that is a perfect way to end the day. After dinner, you can unwind on the catamaran or join the crew for a drink and chat. This is a good time to either visit enchanting Greek villages, where you can immerse yourself in the local culture and enjoy the vibrant nightlife, or stay more private out of reach, enjoying the sound of the wind and the sea.

All in all, the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

What does the typical itinerary look like?

Our carefully crafted itinerary includes the enchanting islands of Paros, Antiparos, Mykonos, Blue Lagoon, Naxos, Kufonisia, Syros, Tinos, and Milos. Please read this in combination with the content of “How the day looks like?” to get a better idea of what to expect.

Sample Itinerary

Day 1 Saturday: Parikia, Paros – Begin your adventure in Parikia, the picturesque capital of Paros. Stroll through charming cobblestone streets and admire the whitewashed architecture before getting onboard and sailing towards Antiparos. Enjoy a sunset dinner onboard. Sorry, no kite or wing session on the first day, but you are welcome to get some action before boarding at Pounda, Paros beach, and joining the boat later.

Day 2 Sunday: Antiparos – Also known as Celebrity Island. There are unspoiled beaches around the island, but we are here for kitesurfing and wing-foiling. After a good session and a tasty dinner in the evening, we’ll explore the enchanting Antiparos village.

Day 3 Monday: If the weather permits, we are setting sails for Mykonos to kitesurf and wing-foil till sunset. We usually have dinner on board before setting out to discover the vibrant nightlife Mykonos has to offer. If staying on board and taking some rest is your idea of a perfect night, then you can get up earlier and walk to the iconic windmills and wander through the narrow streets of Little Venice in the morning when the crew is out to get some fresh bread and fruits.

Day 4 Tuesday: We are sailing off again, this morning our destination is the Secret spot. Not much is there but the perfect flat water on the inside and some pretty decent waves on the outside. It is a place where people can go for a walk or a run, you can SUP, snorkel or just relax.

Day 5 Wednesday: A new day and a new objective to burn some calories and Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades Islands is the place to explore. We’ll likely visit the ancient Portara, sample local cuisine, and explore some bars.

Day 6 Thursday: Early morning is time for a walk or jogging, there is a castle not so far from the boat. Perhaps getting a coffee at the local taverna that is just opening but in any case, you should be back quickly so the boat can set sail for a new destination, the rather small yet enchanting Kufonisia Island. Much can be said about this place but not at this point.

Day 7 Friday: Blue Lagoon – We have a few options for where to go from here; the closest is Blue Lagoon. A flat kite and wing spot that’s hard to beat. People can also go for a short hike up the hill and enjoy the view from up high, relax on the sandy beach, or stay on board and snorkel around. Lately, this place has been attracting more and more day-trip tourists, but there is always space to launch and ride.

Day 8 Saturday: Parikia – We all knew this would end one day, and sadly we have to say goodbye. We’ll finish in the same place we started, close to the ferry port or a taxi stand if you wish to continue exploring the island or head to the airport.

Depending on wind conditions, people’s preferences, and kiteboarding/wing-foiling skills, the itinerary will be adjusted. We aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience, bringing you to perfect spots at the right times while avoiding rough seas. It’s possible the itinerary may miss some places described while spending more time in others, all with agreement of everybody on-board. 

 
How is the boat better than being on a location in terms of the wind?

A boat offers significant advantages when it comes to wind conditions, as the wind doesn’t always blow uniformly across all locations. Instead, it tends to blow more in some areas and less in others. With a boat, you have the flexibility to chase the wind in areas where it is lacking and find better, safer locations when the wind is too strong. This adaptability allows you to make the most of the varying wind conditions, ensuring an optimal experience whether you are sailing, kiteboarding, or simply enjoying the weather.

 

When do we return to the port on Saturday? My ferry leaves early in the morning.

The boat typically returns to the port of Parikia on Friday evening, with disembarkation scheduled for Saturday at 9 am. However, if you have an early ferry to catch on Saturday morning, we can accommodate your schedule and allow for an earlier disembarkation.

Moreover, if an unforeseen situation arises, we can disembark passengers even before Saturday, such as on Thursday or Friday. This is possible thanks to the reliable ferry connections available on all the islands. Please let us know your needs in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Second, you can opt for a “sharing-a-cabin” preference, and we will try to find another person for you to share a cabin with. If we succeed, we can offer you a price of 50% or 2,000 USD in total.

The third option is when people opt for “sharing-a-cabin” but we do not succeed in finding a second person. In this case, we can offer a 20% reduction, and you get to enjoy a double cabin for single use. According to our example, the price would be 3,200 USD.

What are the top locations for kitesurfing and wing foiling in Greece?

Please look at our itinerary to see what are the best kite and wing foil spots in the Cyclades in Greece. The best kite and wing locations in Greece are situated in the Cyclades region and they are only reachable by boat. A catamaran, with its shallow draft, is ideal for accessing these perfect spots and getting close to the shore. The islands of Paros, Antiparos, Mykonos, Naxos, and Kaufonesia are the top picks for kitesurfing, kite foiling, and wing foiling, providing the best conditions in Greece. 

Do we need to chase the wind, or does the wind blow uniformly throughout the Cyclades?

A boat offers significant advantages when it comes to wind conditions, as the wind doesn’t always blow uniformly across all locations. Instead, it tends to blow more in some areas and less in others. With a boat, you have the flexibility to chase the wind in areas where it is lacking and find better, safer locations when the wind is too strong. This adaptability allows you to make the most of the varying wind conditions, ensuring an optimal experience whether you are sailing, kiteboarding, or simply enjoying the weather.

What are the advantages of taking kite/wing/foil lessons from a boat?

Taking kite/wing/foil lessons from a boat provides several advantages. Firstly, the instructor is always within close proximity to the student, enabling them to provide guidance and feedback in real-time while ensuring the student’s safety. The instructor can also escort the student with a motorboat, bringing them upwind and saving them time and energy that would otherwise be spent walking back upwind on the beach or water. Moreover, during a brief break-up-wind drive, students can receive additional tips on how to improve their skills and take a well-deserved break.

What is the best time of year for kitesurfing in Greece?

The optimal time to visit Greece for kitesurfing, kite foiling, wing foiling, and sailing is during the summer season, which lasts from May to October. This is primarily due to two reasons: the consistent and strong Meltemi wind, and the high air temperatures with low humidity. During this time, tourists from all over the world flock to Greece, bringing the area to life with a bustling nightlife and open tavernas and restaurants. Despite the crowds, you can still maintain a sense of privacy and control your own pace once aboard a ferry, which is typically not too crowded.

Which location in Greece is the safest and ideal for beginners to learn kiteboarding, and wing foiling?

The best and safest place for beginners to learn kitesurfing, kiteboarding, and wing foiling in Greece is where the school has qualified staff who are knowledgeable about the area and local conditions and where there are not many other people using same spot. Using a catamaran and rescue boat allows learners to steer clear of crowds and provides a safer and easier environment for learning. Our kite and wing foil lessons / kite wing school offers private lessons with one instructor per student, using the latest complete kite/wing/foil equipment, motor-boat escort, and learning techniques. Constant motor-boat assistance and unlimited upwind motor-boat reach are also included. With the motor-boat escort, we can reach more secure and private areas, away from potential beach dangers and crowds, thus keeping our students safer and providing more space and fewer distractions for faster progress.

How long does it take to learn kitesurfing?

In typical onshore conditions, it can take around 16 hours to learn how to kitesurf. However, when learning from our boat, you can learn in as little as 6-8 hours. There are several reasons why this method is more effective. Firstly, our instructors can provide constant feedback and guidance throughout the lesson as they remain close to the student. Secondly, we conduct our lessons in private areas away from crowds, minimizing distractions and increasing focus. Thirdly, we utilize a motorboat to bring the student upwind, giving them time to rest and regain their strength. Fourthly, we do not include the time needed to assemble and disassemble equipment within the lesson hour, ensuring that students receive the full hour for instruction. Finally, students can take short breaks at any time and enjoy refreshments like water that we carry on board the boat.

What are the worst months to visit Greece?

There are no worst months to visit Greece, but due to cold temperatures of the air and sea, we do not offer cruises during the winter months. During this time, we offer kitesurfing, kiteboarding, and wing foiling cruises in the Caribbean, on Antigua and Barbuda, and in the Grenadines.

I am still struggling with staying upwind while kiteboarding/wing-foiling. Is this cruise suitable for me, and do I need to pre-book lessons?

Yes, this cruise is suitable for you even if you’re still working on your upwind skills in kiteboarding or wing-foiling. It seems you do not need additional lessons but merely assistance. Instead of providing formal lessons, our experienced crew will offer you “Assistance.” This approach allows you to save some money and progress quickly to become an independent rider.
