Plaža Agiassos
Grèce · South Aegean
The beach of Agiassos in Naxos, in the Greek Cyclades, is a popular spot for its fine sand and turquoise water. Located on the west coast of the island, it offers a pleasant setting with a medium-sized beach suitable for kitesurfing. Locals appreciate it for its relaxed atmosphere and conditions suitable for regular sessions.
It is a place that mainly attracts intermediates, but experts also find it enjoyable thanks to nice waves in strong winds. Access is easy from the main road, with nearby parking and few people outside of the high season.
In summer, the atmosphere is lively with local kite schools, but the spot remains large enough to ride without feeling cramped.
The spot of Agiassos features a varied water surface with chop, small waves, and sometimes medium waves, ideal for progressing in freestyle or wave. The launch and landing area is of medium size, on an easily accessible sandy beach. In SW wind, it's perfect side-onshore that generates nice clean waves; otherwise, the water goes flat to choppy.
Launching is easy thanks to the fine sand, with no notable shorebreak. The navigation area extends several hundred meters offshore, with enough space to maneuver even if a few kiters are present. However, be cautious of crowded sessions in July-August. Conditions do not depend on tides, which simplifies planning outings.
