Join our next Kite Trip
Mykonos is more than just sunset parties and stylish streets; it’s a solid kitesurfing destination shaped by the reliable Meltemi wind and sun-drenched beaches. Spots like Ornos, Korfos, and Ftelia serve up side-onshore conditions, flat to choppy water, and plenty of space for intermediate and advanced riders to play — and it’s also one of the signature stops on our Greece kite cruise for riders wanting to explore the Cyclades by catamaran.
With kite schools, rental options, and rescue services at the ready, it’s easy to jump in and just as easy to wind down. Whether you’re carving lines all afternoon or heading straight from the beach to a cliffside bar, Mykonos lets you ride hard and relax harder. Come for the wind, stay for the energy; this is Greek island kitesurfing at its most vibrant.

Mykonos is one of the windiest islands in Greece, famous for its powerful Meltemi wind that dominates the summer months from June to September. Blowing consistently from the north and northwest, the Meltemi picks up by late morning and can reach 18–35 knots in the afternoon — especially strong in July and August, when wind probability exceeds 90%. The airflow is clean and steady across the island’s main kite beaches, delivering long, reliable sessions under crystal-clear Aegean skies.
Temperatures sit comfortably between 26–33 °C in the air and 22–26 °C in the water, meaning no wetsuit is needed for most of the season. The dry, breezy climate keeps even the hottest days pleasant, making Mykonos a dream for endless summer riding. With strong, consistent wind, warm seas and sun-drenched beaches, Mykonos offers pure Meltemi-powered energy — perfect for freeride, freestyle, and big-air sessions in true Greek island style.

Mykonos may be famous for its nightlife, but it’s also home to some of the best kitesurfing beaches in the Cyclades, powered by the same steady Meltemi wind that makes Naxos legendary. The main hub is Korfos Bay, located just a few minutes from Mykonos Town. Here, the wind blows completely onshore (NW/N/NE) into the bay forming choppy waters and nice long swells, perfect for freeride and big air sessions. Korfo’s beach is home to all the big air pro-riders who come here to train during the summer months for the different competitions. On the island’s noth coast, Ftelia Beach offers stronger wind and small waves, making it ideal for experienced riders seeking a wild, open-water feel.
For beginners, several kite schools operate around Korfos, offering safe instruction and rescue support. When the wind turns up, advanced riders can enjoy long tacks and big-air sessions against the backdrop of classic whitewashed houses and deep-blue Aegean views. Whether you’re here for progression or pure Meltemi-powered fun, Mykonos delivers a kitesurfing experience that blends island energy, reliable wind, and stunning scenery.

Mykonos is one of the highlight stops on our Greece Kite Cruise, a catamaran adventure that sails through the Cyclades Islands in search of perfect wind and turquoise bays. While Mykonos itself isn’t known for long downwind safaris, it offers a stunning mix of energy and scenery — from the lively atmosphere and strong winds of Korfos Bay to the wild waves of Ftelia. Anchoring near the island gives riders the chance to kite with the iconic whitewashed villages and windmills as a backdrop, creating one of the most photogenic kite sessions in Greece.
Our Kite Cruise continues on to other world-class islands like Paros, Naxos, and Antiparos, where each day brings new wind, new beaches, and a new adventure. Between sessions, you can dive, explore hidden coves, or enjoy sunset dinners on deck. Mykonos adds the perfect touch of glamour and excitement to this ultimate Greek kitesurfing journey — a seamless blend of sailing, exploration, and pure Meltemi-powered freedom.
