Kitesurfing Holidays Northern Rhodes
Situated 12km southwest of Rhodes Town, one of the best kitesurfing spots on Rhodes island is at Kremasti. The long sandy Kremasti beach has constant cross-shore winds, making it a great kiteboarding area. The beach is simply lovely - a picturesque stretch of golden sands and little pebbles extended 10 more kilometres along the western coast with amazing blue waters. Planet Kitesurf Holidays recommends staying in Ixia or Ialyssos and using a car. local taxi or shuttle transfers from the kite centre to get to this spot - this will allow a large choice of higher quality hotels.
The Kitesurf Spot Of Kremasti
Reliable cross shore winds, warm seas, a lovely energetic vibe on the beach and some great tuition make for some kiting days in Kremasti. Generally, the wind will be lighter in the morning, typically starting at around 14-16 knots, before the thermal effect takes hold and turbo charges the breeze up to an optimum 20-22 knots, virtually every day throughout the summer.
Launching is easy due to the protected location and there is no significant swell breaking on the beach. For beginners, lessons take place a few hundred metres upwind of the main centre where sand spit curves out into the sea. This provides a safe, shallow learning environment in which to make your first body drags and board starts. The supportive, friendly instructors are readily at hand to support you during your lessons. Advanced riders will delight in the constant winds and the little bumps begging to be used as launch ramps. With so much space available in Kremasti you can log a huge amount of airtime and it’s an ideal place to work up the confidence whatever your level.
If you have rented a car as part of your kitesurfing holiday with us, there are a number of other spots you can visit on a day trip, even right down to the very South of Rhodes Island to Prasonisi.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
Talk to a Kitesurf travel expert — not a call centre.
Tell us your dates, your level and what a perfect week looks like. We'll come back with a shortlist of spots with the right conditions and the right hotel — usually within one working day.
