# Kitesurfing in Paros & Naxos, Greece

Destination in [South Aegean](https://www.kitesurfspots.com/regions/south-aegean), [Greece](https://www.kitesurfspots.com/countries/greece).

> 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.

## Wind
The meltemi blows north to north-westerly from late May to September, peaking at 20–30 knots in July and August as it accelerates through the Paros–Naxos channel. Mornings are lighter; afternoons deliver the strongest wind. Water is warm chop to small swell — no significant waves inside the channel.
