Greek rules & the protected area

Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.

Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.

EmergenciesIn an emergency call 112. It is free from mobile and fixed phones and reaches the ambulance, fire service and police.
Kitesurf rulesThe kitesurfing decision requires a helmet, harness, line knife, quick release, leash and buoyancy jacket. Launch only with no people or obstacles within 100 metres. Kiting is prohibited before sunrise and after sunset, within 200 metres of anchored ships, rocks, reefs and moving boats, within 200 metres of the point swimmers usually reach where the water is not buoyed, more than one nautical mile from the shore, and when the wind blows towards open sea with no motorboat cover. As amended by General Port Regulation No. 20, kiting is prohibited in wind above 7 Beaufort or 61 km/h.
Windsurf rulesGeneral Port Regulation No. 20 prohibits windsurfing in wind above 7 Beaufort, before sunrise and after sunset, within 200 metres of the point swimmers usually reach where the water is not buoyed, and within 100 metres of the outer swimming buoys. Windsurfers must wear a personal buoyancy aid.
Protected areaThe beach lies inside two Natura 2000 sites, GR4110001 and GR4110006. No rule on kitesurfing, windsurfing or wing foiling in these sites could be found. Ask a centre whether any local restriction applies.
Afternoon offshore turnThe wind is side-shore but a spot guide says it sometimes turns offshore in the afternoon. A few rocks sit at the outer ends of the bay. Watch the angle and stay within reach of the beach.
Sand, and rocks at the ends

The bottom is sandy and flat, with no coral or sea urchins. A few rocks sit at the outer ends of the bay and are easy to see. The kitesurfing decision prohibits kiting within 200 metres of rocks and reefs.

The afternoon wind angle and the protected area

The wind is side-shore, depending on where in the bay you ride, and a spot guide says it sometimes turns offshore in the afternoon. Watch the angle and stay within reach of the beach. The beach lies inside two Natura 2000 sites, GR4110001 and GR4110006; no rule on riding there was found.

Sources, and their limits

Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.

§WhatSourceLimit
01Kite month sharesRecordCounted at 12 kt for three daylight hours from icon_eu at 7 km, cell 2.77 km from the spot, no correction. Re-harvested at the bay on 27 September 2026, after the spot coordinate moved from about 12 km inland. ERA5 counts about 30 points more rideable days, so treat the figures as a guide.

The record

Hourly wind, 2022 to 2026, from DWD ICON-EU via Open-Meteo: a 7 km grid, read at the cell 2.8 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over three to four years.

What we could not source for Keros Beach, Limnos

Kite sizes from the record. Crowds by month: no count exists for Keros yet. Any Natura 2000 management rule on riding. A water quality classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide information. Surveyed launch coordinates. A measured water temperature. A licensed photograph.

Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
