Kos

Greece

9 listings
Europe$$ trip

Kos is the Dodecanese's easy-access kite island: a long, flat north coast at Marmari and Mastichari catches the summer meltemi side-shore over sandy, waist-deep water, making it one of the friendliest progression spots in Greece. A short hop from the airport, plenty of schools and family-friendly resorts, and the option of flat-water day trips across to the Kohilari peninsula keep all levels busy.

Lefkada

Greece

7 listings
Europe$$ trip

Lefkada packs two very different kite zones onto one Ionian island: the vast shallow lagoon and sandy spit at Agios Ioannis / Milos beach near Lefkada town in the north, and the famous thermal amphitheatre of Vasiliki bay in the south. Reliable afternoon sea breezes, warm water from May to October, and an island you can drive across in an hour — connected to the mainland by a causeway, no ferry needed.

Paros & Naxos

Greece

12 listings
Europe$$ trip

Facing each other across a narrow Cyclades channel, Paros and Naxos are Greece's meltemi heartland. The channel acts as a venturi that accelerates the summer northerlies, serving Pounda on Paros and Mikri Vigla on Naxos with nuking side-shore wind day after day in July and August. Flat-to-choppy turquoise water, sandy launches, a big international school scene and classic whitewashed-island life ashore round out the package.
