Although some Greek islands provide great surfing conditions, surfing in Greece is not a much developed sports. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are the most usual wind sports around the country, however over the last years Greece surfing is gradually appearing with surfing clubs in specially-selected spots.

In these spots, the wind conditions are great for surfing as summer winds (called meltemia) in Greece are frequent, especially in the afternoon hours. Natural currents on the beaches also make it easy to surf. Moreover, the Greek seas are very safe, with sandy bottom and lack of sharks or other dangerous species.
