Christo's Spot kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Greece
Overview
Christo's Spot is a spot on the east coast of Attica, north of Rafina, named after a local rider. The beach faces NE/E toward the Aegean Sea and receives the Meltemi directly. It's a local spot popular with the east Attica kite community.
Located between Schinias and Rafina, this spot offers an alternative with often fewer crowds. The Meltemi is reliable here in summer, offering side-onshore conditions suited for intermediates and advanced riders.
