Technical details of Corfu | Chalikounas spot

Spot currently open :-)
Spot functioning

Rideable from May to September. The thermal wind picks up around 1 PM and blows until sunset. Launch from the sandy beach. Option to ride in the sea (waves) or in Lake Korission (flat water). The lake offers perfect learning conditions with shallow water and no waves. Kite schools operate on the spot during the season.

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Required level

Beginner

On the water

Two distinct water areas: on the sea side, waves and chop over sandy bottom; on the Lake Korission side, flat and shallow water (50cm to 1.5m deep), ideal for beginners. The lake has a muddy bottom in places. In the sea, the bottom is sandy with a gentle slope. Waves are generally small (0.5-1m) except in strong Maestro.

Parking
50m away but not many spaces.
Wind specificities
Wind more consistent and stronger than at Issos. Thermal wind in summer 10-12 knots. Weather wind announced by weather programs. Over 10 days, always thermal wind from around 2pm to 6pm and 2 days of stronger weather wind, up to 20 knots in gusts. At Issos beach, the wind passes over the dune so it can be very gusty depending on whether it's oriented very north. For a beginner, it's probably better to go to Chalikounas beach. Thermal wind in summer 10-12 knots. 
Hazards
None
