Overview

Nissiopi Island is a kitesurfing spot located near Lesvos island, in the northeastern Aegean Sea in Greece. This small islet offers a preserved natural setting for kitesurfing. The spot benefits from the Meltemi winds blowing from the north and northeast during summer, creating consistent conditions for water sports. The waters around the islet can be exposed and the spot is more suited to experienced riders due to the isolation and possible currents.
