Karpathos must be considered the most windy island of the Mediterranean!
As one of the southern islands of the Dodekanese, next to well-known Karpathos, in summer it attracts again and again surfers from all around Europe.
In the summer the island is mostly visited by Scandinavians and the so-called "Frisbees" , Greek-Americans, who come back into their homecountry.
Only a small part of the guests are surfers! The island in summertime is spoiled by the Meltemi and/or north winds and offers strong wind conditions in the months between April and October.
In Afiartis, the Windmekka, the Meltemi is extremely accelerated by a mountain chain ( 7-9 Bft).
