Kalamion / Crete

Overview

Kalamion is a kitesurfing spot on the north coast of Crete, between Chania and Rethymno. The north-facing beach receives the Meltemi directly onshore. A less touristy spot than Platanias, offering more tranquility.

Conditions are typical of the north Cretan coast: onshore Meltemi from N/NNW, choppy water, sailing accessible to intermediates.
