Overview

Agathopes is a kitesurfing spot located on the island of Syros, in the Cyclades, Greece. This fine sand beach offers a pleasant setting for kitesurfing in the Aegean Sea waters.

The spot benefits from the Meltemi, the dominant north wind that blows consistently and strongly in summer across the Cyclades. The water offers varied conditions depending on wind direction. The spot is suited for intermediate riders. Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades and is well served by ferries.
