Kitesurfing Tsimari / Dioni Katochi

West Greece, Greece

Wind & Conditions

Remote lagoon kite spot in the delta of the Acheloos River near Katochi, western Greece — nicknamed "Flatland" by the local kite community. The vast lagoon system creates a mirror-flat freestyle arena; the northwest thermal wind arrives late (typically from 18:00) and lasts until sunset, with stronger all-day wind when a front passes through. No services directly on the beach but a taverna is nearby. Wild camping tolerated. Intermediate to advanced due to remote location; wind 15–20+ kt on best days. Season May–September.
