Greece

Overview

Tsoukalia is a beach on the northeast coast of Paros, between Naoussa and the Golden Beach spots. This NE-facing bay receives the N/NNE Meltemi onshore to side-onshore, offering good conditions for intermediate kitesurfing. Tsoukalia is less known than the island's star spots (Pounda, Golden Beach), making it a quiet alternative with reliable wind. The sandy beach is surrounded by low hills typical of the Cyclades.
