Overview
Skyros, located near Linaria on the Greek coast, offers a U-shaped bay of about 1.5 km with mainly flat and choppy waters, ideal for intermediate riders but also appealing to experts. The prevailing wind comes from the northwest, with speeds ranging from 13 to 24 mph, and conditions are favorable year-round, although a wetsuit is necessary outside the warm season. The water reaches 20°C from May to October, and summer is generally sunny, making the spot very pleasant for sunny sessions. The curved bay allows for several sideshore directions, and the launch/landing area is medium-sized with parking available nearby. Although less known than Limnos or Rhodes, Skyros is a calm and uncrowded spot, perfect for independent riders looking to practice in flat water close to the beach without supervision.
