Your all-in-one

Kitesurfspot on Rhodes

Location of our kiteschool

13 km southwest of Rhodes airport, on the wild and green west coast of the island you will find Fanes. Known as the place of colours, where the local artist Lukas has created his art. Located in the best beach area below the village is the Meltemi Kiteclub and the Hotel “Delfini” with its unique atmosphere. The large tropical garden with its cosy beach bar and beautiful sunsets at Fanes Beach are always a special experience for the guests and complete the holiday feeling. Rhodes of course has much more to offer. Be it the typical Greek taverns, the medieval capital with its crazy nightlife or the varied natural landscape… it is worth discovering the island even away from the water sports.

At our kite spot in Fanes you will find a wide sandy beach and one of the most stable wind systems in Europe. Because of the gently deepening water and the sandy ground, we have a standing area near the shore, which makes the first flight exercises with the kite and the following attempts of the water start easier. The spot offers everything for the beginner to the pro kiter, as flat water and wave areas alternate. The bay between Fanes and Kalavarda stretches over 6 km and offers space for every level.

Our wind conditions and the origin of the Meltemi

Rhodes is one of the Hotspots for kite trips in Europe, especially in the summer months, due to the reliable Meltemi. The Meltemi is a wind that dominates the summer wind conditions in the Aegean Sea. It is one of the Etesian winds that blow with great regularity from May to October over Greece, the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean from northwest to northeast. These are dry, relatively cool winds, often stormy over the sea, which reach their greatest strength in the afternoon. They ensure good visibility and cloudless skies. Especially in the summer months Rhodes is one of the windiest areas in the Mediterranean and the Meltemi develops its greatest strength. Our main wind direction at Fanes Beach is side/side-onshore from northwest (from left). And should the Meltemi start to stutter, the thermal winds and guard rail effects of our spot will save us.
