kite vacation in rhodes island
I'm planning to go to Rhodes island in the end of May. Could somebody write the best kites spots and kiting conditions (wind, flat , waves). Is it good for wave riding?

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
You either go to Prassonisi or Kremasti.
These are the best spots with the strongest winds at that time. Waveriding mostly at Prasonisi. It's a little bit far though if you're lodging around the city of rhodes .
Check out these links

http://www.kitebeaches.com/beach/rhodos___kremasti.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
for th exact locations. Generally expect winds at 15 to 30 knots (20-25 most of the days).
Have fun !!

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
Stayed a week at Kremasti last year in july, wind each day. Going back for a week this year, but this time going to stay in Fanes, but most likey going to rent a car for travelling to Prassonisi and Kremasti (I've heard that the beach in Fanes aint as good as Kremasti, but not sure..)

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
The beach in fanes is great but the wind is always a bit lesser than in kremasti.
The kiteclub at fanes arranges a 3-mile downwinder every noon for around10 euros with a boat following the kiters.
Enjoy !

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
Yeah, thats mainly the reason I am going to Fanes.
Going alone is a little bit boring, and last year I stayed at a hotel in Kremasti called "Kremasti Memories" it was quite good, and close to the beach, but still boring being the only kiter at the hotel. So going to Fanes where I guess there is more kiters at the hotel I am staying. With a car it is easy to go to Kremasti anyway if I find the wind at Fanes shitty, and I really want to try the downwinder. The kitecenter at Kremasti Beach wasnt really good.

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
Yeah the fanes crew are nice, friendly people and most of all professionals, you'll enjoy your time there. Plenty of kiters at the beach and a good atmosphere. You'll need a car though 'cause you won't have the best time at night there .... the party is at rhodes town !!!!Kosh wrote:So going to Fanes where I guess there is more kiters at the hotel I am staying.

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
I've been 3 times all in June/July. My impression:
Prassonisi in the south has a big kite scene. It's really more on-shore shore break than waves, but it does make for some nice ramps. Google will turn up plenty of photos and videos, e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmWphX0CP-8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If it wasn't for the drive, I'd prefer Prassonisi. But because of the drive, I found it better to kite Kremasti (near the airport) and be near the social action.
Super reliable place in summer. Every day I've been there I kited. I don't know about May.

Re: kite vacation in rhodes island
hi all,
planing to go to Rhodes in mid of August. Would like to go to Parossinisi, but as my girlfriend and a bunch of no kiting friends are going too I'll have to choose another spot.
Our travel agencies don't offer hotels in Kremasti, only Yalysos and Ixia, which are quite close i suppose and of course Faliraki, Rhodes and etc.
So my question is wich location or hotel would you recomend me to choose that have a kiting spot and a nice beach, so that everyone was happy?
or maybe it is imposible when you have holidays with non kiting firends?
thanks
