North Aegean, Greece
SW bay near Turkish coast on Samos; thermal S/SW wind onshore in afternoons May-Oct; shallow and sandy; only kiteable with southerly conditions (rare but reliable in spring).
The Principality of Samos was an autonomous tributary state of the Ottoman Empire from 1834 to 1912. The island of Samos had participated in the Greek War of Independence since 1821 and had successfully resisted several Ottoman and Egyptian attempts to occupy it, but it was not included within the boundaries of the newly independent Greek state. Instead in 1834 the island was granted self-governance as a semi-independent state.
