Alatsi του φανη kitesurf and wingfoil spot
Greece
Overview
Alatsi is a kitesurfing spot on the south coast of Crete, east of Ierapetra. Still in the isthmus influence zone, the Meltemi wind crosses the island from the north but at a slightly more oblique angle than directly at Ierapetra.
A wild and isolated spot, for advanced riders who perfectly master offshore wind sailing. Conditions are demanding and isolation adds additional risk.
