Spot de Herkaleio Kite Beach

Herkaleio Kite Beach

Herkaleio Kite Beach

Overview

Herakleio Kite Beach is the dedicated kitesurfing spot in the Heraklion area, on the north coast of Crete. Located next to Amoudara, this spot benefits from the same onshore Meltemi conditions but in an area more suited for kite practice.

The north-facing beach receives the Meltemi directly, offering reliable conditions in summer. The space is better organized for kitesurfing than adjacent tourist beaches.
