Nissakia Loutsa kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Greece
Overview
Nissakia Loutsa is a spot on the east coast of Attica, in the Artemida/Loutsa area, facing the Aegean Sea. This beach receives the N/NNE Meltemi as side-onshore, offering good summer conditions for kitesurfing and wingfoil.
Located between Rafina and Vravrona, this spot is part of the string of east Attica coast beaches that benefit directly from Meltemi exposure. Less known than Schinias, it offers a less crowded alternative.
