Lefkada is among the best Greek islands for kite surfing and windsurfing. Particularly the beaches of Agios Ioannis and Vassiliki are the ideal places for these two wind sports. The afternoon is the best time for kite surfing and windsurfing as the wind blows to the right direction.
If you don’t know how to surf, there are few sports centres on the island that rent equipment and offer courses for all ages.
The wind starts blowing at noon every day from May to September creating excellent conditions for sportsmen who have experience and good technique. In recent years in Lefkada conducted international Kite surf competitions.
White sand beaches, pine wood, beaches for relaxation or for sports entertainment!
What else can you ask from a heavenly destination!
