The Cyclades are the ultimate destination for catamaran kite cruises in Greece, especially for those seeking unforgettable kitesurfing holidays or a premium Kiteboarding Cruise experience. This group of 220 islands located to the East and to the South East of Athens, with it’s crystal clear turquoise waters, it’s vibrant culture, delicious food and it’s million hidden, and not so hidden, spots, make the perfect playground for kitesurfing during the summer months of June, July, August and September. During these months, the so called Meltemi, a wind that ranges between 15 and 35 knots practically everyday in the open sea, blows constantly making this part of the Aegean Sea a true Paradise for us kitesurfers and adventurers.
The best kitesurfing Greece islands probably are Naxos, Mykonos, Paros, Antiparos, Santorini, Milo, Siros, Sifnos, Koufunissi, etc. But there are plenty others more and depending on how the wind blows, from the North West or the North East, the conditions are better on one island or another island. This is why every Greece Kite Cruise or floating Kite Safari remains fully adaptable, as we constantly keep an eye on the wind forecast to decide our next moves. This makes our trips incredibly exciting, as they never follow the exact same route — and unless the Meltemi completely stops blowing, we are guaranteed wind on one island or another, no matter how hidden it might be.

There’s no set itinerary – and that’s exactly the magic. On this kite cruise through the Cyclades, we let the wind lead the way.
With over 200 islands scattered across the Aegean, we sail from one kite spot to the next, adjusting daily based on the Meltemi’s direction. You might wake up anchored off Naxos, kite a secret bay near Paros, or end your day with a golden-hour session by Antiparos.
Every day is a new adventure with stunning wild spots and turquoise waters awaiting you. No two trips are ever the same – just steady wind, turquoise waters, and unforgettable riding.

I’ve just returned from my second trip to Greece with this incredible team, and I can’t recommend their next adventure enough! The entire crew on board was exceptionally professional and always ready to assist with a smile. I also had the opportunity to take private classes with the instructor, and I’m thrilled to have unlocked some new skills on this journey. The food was absolutely divine—I was treated to more delicious meals than I ever have at home! After our sessions, we were always greeted with fresh fruits and delightful snacks, thoughtfully prepared by our wonderful chef. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew for making this another unforgettable year. You all truly rock!🌊🫰🏽

This week I was with my son on an amazing surfing trip with Garcia in the Greek Islands. Every evening Garcia would check the forecast for the next day and based on that he would plan where we would surf. Every day we received an amazing wind of between 20 and 30 knots. The yacht was brand new and the rooms were comfortable. In addition to the lovely García, I must mention the wonderful crew that was on the yacht: the professional Captain Hugo who made sure that everyone was comfortable and brought us safely from island to island, Chef Francie who spoiled us with stunning food every morning, lunch and dinner and was open to every request of the guests and simply had amazing food, and Glayson the super kitesurfer guide who did everything for everyone's safety and enjoyment. I highly recommend anyone who is considering a trip on a yacht to contact Garcia. We will definitely be back again soon.

We've just returned from a week-long kitesafari trip in the Cyclades, organized by Garcia. It was excellent in every aspect of the trip: a very comfortable catamaran, a competent crew in sailing, meal organization, and, above all, kiting. Their expertise in launching the kite from the boat and organizing the return to the boat is impressive. Furthermore, as is typical in the Cyclades at this time of year, the Meltemi was strong. We sailed every day, ending with a downwind of several kilometers. Overall, I recommend Garcia as a kitesurfing trip organizer. I'll probably go with him again to Brazil and/or the Cyclades. Grzegorz

Absolutely amazing experience with Freeride Kitesurf! I’ve joined their trips both in Greece and for a downwinder adventure in Brazil, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Every detail was well organized and the vibe was always fun, supportive, and adventurous. Whether you are looking to progress fast or just want to enjoy beautiful spots with great people, this is the team to go with. I’ve made unforgettable memories, improved my skills, and met some fantastic fellow kiters. I can’t wait for my next session with Freeride!

I have experienced both Brazil and Greece with Freeride Kitesurf, and am looking forward to a third in South Africa. They have been amazing at creating authentic experiences that build friendships and memories that are beyond compare. Even when things don’t go as planned, they respond quickly to get things back on track and end up better than originally expected. If your looking for an adventure of a lifetime, look no further!!
