Overview

Faros Avlidas is a kitesurfing spot located near the Avlida lighthouse, in the Euripus Strait between Attica and the island of Euboea in Greece. This historic spot is situated in a narrow sea channel that strongly channels the winds. The spot benefits from channeled winds from the east to southeast sector that accelerate in the strait. The water body is suitable for intermediate riders. The proximity of Chalkida and Athens makes it an easily accessible spot.
