Kite Sailing Trips in Greece
The sailing kite trips are taking place to the West coast of Greece from Lefkada all the way down south to Cape Drepano and vise versa. This area has nice moderate winds (steady thermals) throughout the whole summer and many spots (more than 7) on the way.
If you are beginners we can arrange your lessons onboard, with an IKO certified instructor being with you at all times, guiding you to this amazing sport. On the other hand, if you are intermediate or experts you can rent some equipment from us or have a kite guide/rescue onboard who is going to help you out throughout your trip.

Location & Transportation
We will find secret spots, amazing lagoons, crystal clear waters and some downwinds with the wind on our favour and always according to your skills. The route always depend on the forecast at the time of your arrival and your preferences. During the day we will search for the perfect conditions for you to kite and then we are going to stay overnight to small peaceful bays or reach a harbour for some night action according to the route.
The choice of the Ionian sea for our sailing kite trips, is made upon 10 years of experience on sailing kite trips in Greece. The other side of Greece, the Aegean sea is most of the times really rough, since the ‘meltemi’, the strong north wind is blowing hard during the summer (6-7BF) every day. So, with this kind of weather we can not set sails for too many islands during the trip unless you are experienced sailors!
Moreover the Aegean sea don’t have as many protected areas (flat, choppy spots), as the Ionian sea has, so if your trip is kiteboarding oriented the west coast is the place you have to be. The Aegean sailing kite trips are more island hopping and some kite action weather permitted. Anyhow we can customise your trip according to your needs.
Arriving at Patras Port
The most convenient airport for this trip is Araxos with charter flights during the summer. Of course there is option of Athens International Airport, but from there is a 2 hour drive to reach Patra (railway from the airport to Patra also). We can arrange all your transportations upon request.
The ‘Kiteland’
It’s a common secret among the Greek Kiteboarding Community that if you want to kite every day, you have to go west to a place that the locals call ‘the kiteland‘. The western part of Greece is providing an ideal playground for kiteboarding since you can kite almost every day with any wind direction. At the area, you can find famous kite spots like ‘Cape Drepano’ where you will kite with all the pros during the season like Youri Zoon, Stefan Spiessberger and Paula Novotna, and beautiful downwind cruises in the Corinthian Gulf. Moreover, there are flat lagoons and 3 river mouths which are providing a unique kite scene. Whether permitted we will kite one of the biggest rivers in Greece called ‘Acheloos’ which was worship like a God in Ancient Greece. The most amazing thing though is the uncharted kite spots at the biggest sea lake in Greece.

At this area, we have nice thermals and moderate wind early and late at the season (Mar-June and Sep-November) and high winds July and August when the Meltemi starts blowing. We usually use 9 and 11 sqm kites but a big kite is must for the light wind sessions. The dominant winds are Northwest and East-Northeast. With south winds (not often during the summer) we travel south about 1 hour from our surf house to find some wavy spots. So, actually, we stop kiting only when the mountains are full of snow and its rather cold. With more than 10 kite-spots around our surf house, we are offering the best conditions for a memorable experience.
Some of the Kite Spots we will explore include:
River Mouth
Outer Banks
Our Daily Schedule
Meeting at Patras Harbor and go straight to our first spot Cape Drepano where you will kite with all the pros like Youri Zoon, Stefan Spiessberger and Paula Novotna and we will spend the night.
Kiting early in the morning at Cape Drepano and then according to the wind we will leave for downwind session, crossing the Corinthian Gulf, kiting infront of Nafpaktos Castel, at Mornos river mouth and reach the beautiful islands called ‘trizonia’.
According to the forecast we will head west again towards the Ionian Islands to find an uncharted secret spots on the west coast with a lot of wind and dead flat water.
With nice west wind we will head to the second biggest river mouth in Greece where we will find dead flat lagoons and we will have the chance to kite into the river getting some amazing pictures.
We will stay in the area exploring a little bit more and we will chase some nice downwind, anchoring in the middle of nowhere.
We sail downwind heading to the Port Patras. You can stay on board at the port of Patras and leave the next morning or we can rent a car and go one last time kiting at Cape Drepano.
Departure from the boat until 12.00 am
Frequently Asked Questions
This means that out of the 7 days you will have 6 days of wind. So during the trip, you can have a day off, if the wind is not blowing. We are kiting at the area more than 15 years, so upon your arrival we will tell you the best route available to be able to find wind almost every day.
If you are not independent kiteboarder (can’t stay upwind, can’t recover your board), or you haven’t finished you kite lessons, then we can provide kitesurf lessons with 30% discount for everyone in the group. We will provide all the equipment needed (Cabrinha and Duotone 2019-20) and the lessons will be held with radio helmets for communication. All lessons are contacted by certified sailing coaches by the Greek Government or licensed companies for Kite Equipment rental
The first day before our departure we will go shopping getting everything we need for the next couple of days. So we will have onboard everything we want for breakfast and we can eat lunch and dinner either onboard or at traditional taverns also. As soon as we are run out of supplies we will dock at a harbor on our way to refill.
