Description of Cape Deprano (Greece)
Thanks to the long stripe of sand and pebbles that unfolds in the sea, this kite spot offers a great flatwater area for practicing any of your preferred tricks.
Due to the spot location and topography, the wind blows normally from the West and East and it is very consistent in the summer months, though you can kite very often also the rest of the year.
The spot isn't very big and in summer time can get very crowded. When the tide rises the sand bar gets covered by water and the space to set the kite becomes really small.
