# Pounda Kite Beach

Kitesurfing spot in Paros & Naxos, Greece.

> Pounda sits on the Paros–Antiparos strait and benefits from a powerful venturi effect when the meltemi wind funnels through the channel. The shallow water ranges from flat to choppy depending on conditions and swell, making it suitable for various skill levels. The beach hosts multiple schools and a large local kitesurfing community, with good infrastructure for lessons and rentals. Summer brings consistent wind, though autumn swells can add texture to the water. The strait location and reef hazards require local knowledge.
