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.
