Why you'll love kitesurfing in Greece!
If you want to discover one of the most mystical and beautiful environments of the world Greece is the perfect destination. Its cities and landscapes reflects centuries of history and knowledge; and the Mediterranean passion is present in every single place. Greece is surrounded by two seas, the Aegean and the Ionian and the wind conditions are appropriated for the practice of Kitesurfing. There's several spots spread along the coast and all of them enjoy reliable wind conditions for all year kitesurfing; flat shallow waters and white sand beaches will make visitors want time to standstill. From Planet Kitesurf Holidays we will advise you about the best spots and journeys for your kitesurfing holidays in Greece.
The number of tourists visiting Greece each year outway the total population of the country. The capital city of Athens is one of Europe's oldest city and the birthplace of democracy. Not surprisingly, Greece is the planet's third-leading producer of olives and around 7% of the world's marble comes from Greece.
Greece can be divided into a number of main climatic regions. The Attica Peninsula, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, Crete, and the central and eastern Peloponnese have a more typically Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and milder winters. In July and August, the mercury can soar to 40°C (over 100°F) in the shade just about anywhere in the country. July and August are also the months of the meltemi, a strong northerly wind that sweeps the eastern coast of mainland Greece (including Athens) and the Aegean Islands, especially the Cyclades. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Greece; specifically May, June, September and October.
