From superb weather to perfect seasonal winds for windsurfing, a fantastic windsurfing experience in Greece is guaranteed.
The glory of Greece is not just locked in their pristine beaches that offer sublime water games experiences but in just about everything they’ve got and they do. A proud culture rich with arts, philosophy, politics, food, sports, theatre performance, and lots more adds up to the splendour of the country.
That’s not all! Travelling here has never been any easier. There are routes into the country by land, air, and sea. While travelling by air seems to be the most preferred means of getting in, a sea voyage adventure is the best for pleasure hunters.
Weather and Winds
Greece enjoys temperate summers with clear skies and sunshine for the most part of the season and mild winters all year round. Summer winds blow mildly during summer with an ideal strength for windsurfing, kite surfing, sailing, and other wind games. Chase the more ferocious winds in Greece winter. The winds increase in speed and strength but still stay under limits for an unforgettable experience.
Best Seasons
Best times depend on who is visiting. Some prefer the high season, between July and August, when adventurers and tourists throng the beaches in search of everything fun. Temperature rises and summer is at its peak now, and tourists take to the sea to match their skills against the strength of the sea. Others prefer the low seasons, April to October, when they can have the winds all to themselves. This seems to be the best season for windsurfing since the weather is more pleasant and lovely at this time.
