# Windsurfing and kite

In summer, the wind is blowing strong over the Greek islands and creates many spots ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

However, there are also many other windy locations, perfect for these sports, including locations on the islands of Rhodes, Kos, Karpathos and Crete. Many windsurfing and kitesurfing centers are found in the popular bays for these sports, making it easy for visitors to learn how to ride the wind or rent the necessary equipment to do so.

There are all kinds of games available, from bananas and turbo rides to more recent and adrenaline games. Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, Zakynthos, and Skiathos are only a few of the Greek islands where you can find water sports to enjoy a fun day at the beach.

# Sailing

Can there be a more fun and suitable activity in Greece than sailing? It is almost impossible to visit the Greek islands and not experience sailing. It can either be taking the ferry to the island or taking a local boat tour. Other tourists prefer to charter yachts and have autonomy in their activities. It is a real pleasure to get on board in Greece and go to the open sea to see the big blue and feel the fresh breeze. You can try boat tours in almost any Greek island. The most famous are the volcano boat trip in Santorini, the boat tour to the Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos and the tour to Lalaria Beach in Skiathos.
