Kitesurfing Sigri (Lesbos)

North Aegean, Greece

Wind & Conditions

Small fishing village on the remote western coast of Lesbos, with a natural protected bay that receives the prevailing Meltemi from the north and accelerated thermals from the surrounding Mesotopos hills. The bay stays flat because the curved coastline absorbs swell, making it one of the few Greek island lagoon-kite spots. 205 windy days per year; wind typically starts around 09:00 and holds until sunset at 15–30 kt. Used year-round; peak wind season May–October. Flat water, suitable for all levels. One established kite and windsurf centre.

About Sigri (Lesbos)

Sigri is a small fishing village near the western tip of Lesbos Island. Its name derives through Greek σίγουρος from the Venetian word siguro, meaning "safe", based on the fact that it has a safe harbour. Sigri has a Turkish castle, built in 1746 during the Ottoman occupation, which looks over the bay and the long island of Nissiopi, which stretches across the mouth of the bay and acts as a buffer to the prevailing winds. The port of Sigri is able to accommodate large vessels, even cruise
