corfu | issos beach kitesurf spot
Greece
Overview
Beautiful sandy beach. I set up next to the lifeguard tower as it was closer to my accommodation, but a bit further west on the beach there is a kitesurfing club (after the Wibit structure). Just avoid ending up in the boat zone or the swimming area. Not many kites here. Check out Chalikounas beach for more space and another kite school.

Wind specificities
Thermal wind in summer 10-12 knots. Weather wind announced by weather programs. Over 10 days, always thermal wind from around 2pm to 6pm and 2 days of stronger weather wind, up to 20 knots in gusts. At Issos beach, the wind passes over the dune so it can be very gusty depending on whether it's oriented very north. For a beginner, it's probably better to go to Chalikounas beach.
Hazards
Gusty wind depending on direction.
