Nafplio (Peloponnese)

The beach is not pure sand, but rather fragments of tiny shells, some quite sharp. So be careful where you put the kite when launching and landing it. Although there is an area for starting or packing kites, it has also seen better years. Otherwise, the beach here is quite spacious.

The entry into the water is very gradual and you literally sink into the grass or mud. There are also pure sandy areas, but when it is windy and the water is choppy, they are not visible. In the morning, the surface is like a mirror and you can even bathe. Unfortunately, you have to go about 300-500 meters to dive and swim a little in the clear water. The water is shallow and at least 1 km is still enough for you to stand in the water. From this point of view, it is a great thing for learning kitesurfing.

On the eastern side of the spot, the beach turns into wetlands, which are quite smelly. But the water in front of them is more flat thanks to the mud, and it is possible to have a good time there and try freestyle tricks. On the opposite, western side, the beach is sandy, with shells and washed-up grass.

There are buoys in the water that mark the space for entering the water. Farther from the beach the buoys are red and it's good to know what they mean. Because the red marks the places where the harder crusts of some form of underwater life are under the water several meters long and half a meter high. According to information, it is some form of "coral" that causes a very rapid allergic reaction when injured or touched. After touching it, most people get a rash similar to stinging nettles. But if someone is susceptible and has major allergy problems, they should avoid buoys from afar. You can step on it with your foot, but you run the risk of falling into it, bumping into it, or being covered in putty. In addition to the fact that running into this thing, for example, washed away by a wave, can hurt quite a bit. There are not many of them, I estimate around ten marked places.

There is a school on the spot Radical Kite Surfing where you can rent the equipment or learn kitesurfing. If you want you can buy a can of beer. Otherwise there is nothing on the spot and it's best suited for campers or staying in a near apartment and drive here by car every day.
