Naxos
Naxos is situated in the heart of the Aegean Sea of Greece and offers a windsurfing and water sport paradise for beginners to advanced. Flisvos Sport Club is situated right by the traditional main town of Naxos, along Agios Georgios Beach, a mere 10 minutes walk out of town.
The location provides a unique combination between a perfect flat-water spot in a shallow lagoon and a challenging wave spot. You will find two centres just five minutes walk distance from each other - The Flisvos Center and the Lagoon Center. The main wind direction is side onshore from the right.
Around 18 km south of Agios Georgios Beach and Naxos town, the Bay of Mikri Vigla is a further fantastic spot for confident windsurfers and kitesurfers of all levels. A dream-like location with turquoise blue water and very good wind conditions.
> Spot Map
1. The Flisvos Centre
From the marbled courtyard of the Flisvos Surf Centre you reach the wave area situated directly next to the Beach Café. When the wind blows force 4-5 Bft, this spot is ideal for slalom and freestyle sailing. With more wind this spot becomes the playground for wave freaks and certainly is one of the best wave spots in Greece. The waves are between 1 and 2.5 meters high, allowing radical jumps and wave riding. From the wave spot you can reach the flat-water spot in the lagoon within five minutes of downwind sailing, where you can practice your freestyle moves or go speeding.
2. The Lagoon Centre
The Lagoon windsurfing and catamaran centre is situated 400 meters away from the Flisvos Centre and can be reached in a five minutes walk along the beach. The lagoon is a shallow flat-water spot. It is ideal for beginners in order to learn windsurfing and for intermediate windsurfers in order to achieve a fast progress. The lagoon is a perfect place to enjoy speed sailing in flat-water conditions and to practise power jibes and freestyle moves. Advanced windsurfers can easily access the wave area by passing the reef through a marked passage.
3. Mikri Vigla Centre
You are able to windsurf straight out into the turquoise clear water of Mikri Viglas Bay, past the 800m offshore island with its traditional white chapel, towards Paros in the distance. This spot allows kiting and windsurfing, as kitesurfing is prohibited along Agios Georgios Beach because of the neighbouring airport. With any luck you will sight a turtle elegantly floating past, while you are enjoying your ridede. |
