Hi,
I plan a kiteboarding trip with my other half to Rhodes between 17-24 August.
It will be my very first time there so, those who have experience about kiteboarding in Rhodes and certainly those who live in Rhodes could you please inform me about below:
- I’m a beginner kiteboarder. I read that there are two main kitespots in Rhodes. One in north - Kremasti area – and one in south - Prasonisi. I’m not sure about the wind direction at these spots but just to be on safe side I would book rescue (jet ski) as well (if it’s possible). In the light of the above which kite spot would you recommend for me?
- Can you also recommend accommodation near the kite spots? Definitely I will rent a car but I don’t really want to drive more than 40-60 minutes from the accommodation to the spot. I would rather prefer to be closer to the restaurants and drive to the beach than being accommodated close to the beach without the possibility of having a good dinner (and wine:-)). I found some accommodations but the experience is the best lead in choosing a hotel or apartment.
- I’m wondering whether it worth to carry my board with me (and pay an extra 80 Euro for the flight company) or it’s cheaper to rent one….? So far I found one kiteschool in Kremasti – but I haven’t got a reply from them re board rent price. I would be thankful if you could send me some kitecenter or kiteschool links.
Any useful info will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
