Since 2006 KiteGreece has offered high-quality services to the Greek kiteboarding scene. Experienced instructors, designated shallow water areas for students, private facilities, ideal weather conditions, and the latest equipment make Marmari Surf Club a perfect destination for both learning and practicing kiteboard.
Despite that Evia (Euboea) Island is a perfect multi-activity destination. It’s also one of the windiest places in Greece. Due to its geographical position, it offers unique wind conditions all year round. Especially from March to the middle of October the main spots offer kiteable wind conditions every day. The wind strength varies from 15-35 knots and the water conditions from small chop to flat to mid-size wind swell which creates waves 1-2.5 meters at certain spots.
Marmari Surf Club is one of the most guaranteed wind-related destinations in Greece due to the shape of the mountains surrounding the village of Marmari and the small straight in between Euboea island and Petali islands which create the Venturi effect. It mainly works with Meltemi (Northern) wind.
You can expect winds from 15 to 35 knots. So, 12- to 7-meter kites would be a good choice but mainly nine-meter is a good size. The spot also works with South, West, and North West winds. An important note is that Karistos which is the biggest city in the area and 10 minutes drive from Marmari offers 20 kilometers of coastline with beautiful blue waters and nice waves when south winds blow.
