General info

Prasonisi is a unique kitesurf destination in Europe where you can learn to kitesurf, ride waves or take your first metres in the surf. On the offshore side you can work on freestyle tricks. In short: this spot challenges everyone!

Seabed & safety

The spot is spacious and easy to read, with a sandy beach.
On the onshore side you'll find some rocks at the edges, but in the middle it's mostly sand with a gently sloping seabed.
On the offshore side it gets deep quicker and there are no obstacles in the water.

Wind conditions

Prasonisi sees almost 300 windy days a year with more than 20 windy days per month. From May until the end of October average winds are around 15–25 knots.

Crowds

The spot is busiest in July/August.
In the other months you can kite here with plenty of space to progress.
Before 12:00 and after 16:00 it's often very quiet.

Access & launch options

There are designated kitezones where you may launch and land. These are clearly marked with flags/signs.

(Wing) Foiling

You can also foil really well at this spot. Stay in the middle so you don't head for the rocks at the sides.
Winging is also becoming very popular here.

Prasonisi Onshore

On the onshore side of Prasonisi everything comes together: constant Meltemi wind, rolling waves and a dynamic sea that invites action.

This side of the spot is perfect for kiters who want to gain experience in the waves, ride strapless or use the waves for bigger jumps.

The seabed is sandy, with a gradual slope.

Launch and land in the designated kitezones to keep the spot clear and safe.

Prasonisi offshore

Prasonisi's offshore side is legendary. Here the wind blows offshore and creates mirror‑flat water — a dream for kitesurfers focusing on freeride/freestyle tricks. It's also perfect for learning to kite in calm conditions.

The offshore side is closed between 10:00 and 16:00 for independent kitesurfers. Lessons are offered all day on this side of the spot in combination with a rescue boat.

Theologos / Kremasti

The Theologos spot sits on the west coast of Rhodes, close to the airport, and is often mentioned as one of the island’s more accessible kitesurf spots.

Compared to Prasonisi, it’s a step down.

The spot is known for rougher conditions — choppy water, a strong shorebreak and a rocky/pebble bottom when you enter the water. The sea drops off quickly, so keep that in mind when launching and landing.

Theologos is definitely a kitesurf spot, but it’s not the place we’d send our guests.Not the place If you’re after more variety, comfier conditions and a true kitesurfing experience, Prasonisi is clearly the better choice.
