THE WINDSURFING - FREAK SURF

Run by Davina (English) and Hannes (Austrian) the centre lies in the middle of the 2km long, sandy Kouremenos Beach. The centre is built to allow a lot of wind protection for the non-surfers and families and there are a number of trees surrounding the beach, which provide excellent shade. Other facilities include a shower, small windsurf shop and a restaurant / café a short walk down the beach.

The entrance to the sea is marked with buoys and beginners will easily and safely be able to practice around this area. A constant look-out and safety boat ensures maximum safety and confidence for all levels.
