Fanes is a kitesurfing spot on the west coast of Rhodes, just north of Kalavarda. This pebble and sand beach offers good NW/W Meltemi conditions side-onshore. Fanes is a quiet spot, less known than the Ixia/Ialissos area, with a preserved local atmosphere. Fanes village is small and authentic, perfect for riders looking to escape the tourist crowds while benefiting from the reliable west coast Meltemi.
Fanes works with the NW/W Meltemi side-onshore. Open, uncrowded riding area. No water sports center — self-sufficient spot. Intermediate conditions with moderate chop. Works from June to September.
