Kalamaki is a kitesurfing spot on the south coast of Crete, very close to Timbakion in the Messara plain. The spot experiences the same spectacular gap winds: the Meltemi funnels between Mount Ida and the White Mountains.
Conditions are similar to Timbakion: strong and gusty offshore wind from N/NNW. Spot for advanced riders only. The beach is known as a nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles – respect protected areas.
Spot with no kite school. Violent offshore wind. For advanced/expert riders only. Strictly respect turtle nesting areas (May to October).
Flat water near the coast (offshore). Sandy bottom. Warm Libyan Sea water. Conditions appear calm but offshore wind is a trap.
Advanced
Open all year round
Parking along the coastal road. A few tavernas nearby. Kalamaki village accessible. Watch for protected sea turtle areas – do not park in marked zones.
EXTREME DANGER: violent gusty offshore wind. Same dangers as Timbakion. Additionally: protected loggerhead turtle nesting areas – kiting may be prohibited in some zones from May to October. Check locally.
Gap winds identical to Timbakion. Offshore Meltemi from N/NNW, 20-35 knots with gusts potentially exceeding 40 knots. Extremely gusty wind. See Timbakion (11740) for full details.
