South Aegean, Greece
The main kitesurf beach on Santorini (Thera), located on the northeast coast 2 km east of the international airport. The 1 km black-sand beach faces northeast; the Meltemi arrives from the west-northwest, producing side-onshore conditions and pushing small to medium waves into the bay. A concrete mole on the southern end creates a flat-water zone on the leeward side. Wind builds from late morning to 15–20 kt and can hold steady for more than a week at a time in July–August. Santorini Kite school operates on the beach. Suitable for all levels in mild conditions; intermediate-advanced in full Meltemi. Season May–September.
