Best time to kite

The best kitesurfing season in Lefkada is from May to September.

During summer, a reliable thermal wind usually builds up in the early afternoon and often lasts until sunset.

Choose the right kite size

Ideal spot for beginners

The shallow lagoon makes it easier and safer for beginners to practice and progress.

Many riders come to Lefkada to learn kitesurfing or improve their skills in flat water conditions.

Respect the spot

During the high season the lagoon can become busy, so it is important to respect other riders and keep safe distances.

Always check the wind conditions before going out.
