Winds Info
The best area to practice windsurfing is the regions of
the Aegean Sea which are blew by a summer wind coming
from the North, the Meltemi. The Meltemi winds are present
from the months of May to September and their forces are
particularly strong during the months of July and August.
The intensity of the Meltemi varies depending of the region.
One of the strongest winds can be found in the Cycladic
islands of Naxos and Paros and those areas attract thousands
of windsurfers every year.
The Ionian Sea winds usually blow during summer season
and are called "Maistros" and are blowing from
NW. The Ionian Sea is less interesting but some areas
like Lefkada, due to a thermal wind, are also offering
perfect conditions for windsurfing and attract thousands
of windsurfers every year.
