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.
Area more dedicated to kitesurfing than neighboring tourist beaches. Launching from sand. Sailing space along the north coast. Kite schools may operate here in season.
