THE LOWDOWN
The 300 days of sunshine a year, consistent cross-onshore Meltemi winds, 220km of accessible shoreline, and a whole lot of culture make Rhodes, one the largest Greek islands, a perfect option for a kiteboarding holiday. The prevailing conditions combine flat, clear and sometimes choppy water – so a great spot for both beginners and advanced riders who want to improve their skills. There’s plenty of island fun to be had out of the water too, as well as renowned Greek dinners and live music. A great destination for water sports enthusiasts, culture-lovers, families and singles.

The Greek season is from May until the end of October. Early in the season the winds are light and pick up after lunch. In high summer, wind is pretty much guaranteed, with Rhodes benefitting from the reliable Meltemi winds, giving an ample 20-25 knots. In autumn there can be some strong side-onshore winds which can give rise to some fun wave action!
KITING SET UP
Located on the west coast, just 5km south of the airport, you’ll find Surf and Kite Theologos, with ample space for launching and landing right outside the center. The shingle beach is safe, with no rock hazards. The area for windsurfers is upwind, the kiters ride downwind, so there is enough space on the water for all of them. Even in the busy summer months of July and August there will be enough space on the beach and water. Winds tend to kick in first thing in the morning, and pick up after lunchtime, ranging during the season from 15 to 25 knots coming from
NO WIND?
There’s a lot to discover on the island – beautiful sand beaches, little picturesque villages, and plenty to see in the culturally rich city of Rhodes, not least the medieval castle, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rental car, scooters or ATVs are easily available. Alternatively you can join an organized adventure to enjoy climbing, diving, or even a safari. If you’re kiteboarding through and through, Surf and Kite Theologos has plenty of kite tutorial videos that you can kick back, watch, and revise your skills!
