|
The longest beach of Palekastro area (1.5 km length) is only 2 km far from Palekastro village and 20 from Sitia. It is sandy and the bottom is ideal for divers. Very close to the beach you can find some taverns that serve fresh fish any time. The beach here is mostly sandy with a few small pebbles dotted around, there is no need for booties here. The water is super flat but a small wind shadow directly off the beach is good for non-windsurfing spectators! The secluded bay offers a huge space which some times in July and August is frequented exclusively by windsufers. The Area of Palekastro lies approximately 2,5 hours by car from the Heraklion airport on the far North Easterly point of Crete. The drive takes you through some stunning scenery along the Northern coast line with the most dramatic views through the winding roads of Eastern Crete. The drive is rewarded by a part of Greece that is devoid of mass tourism, some would say this is the Greece of 20 year ago.
Of course, Palekastro has more to offer. If you feel likehaving a day off or there is not enough wind for windsurfing, you don’t need to be worried about being bored. Round-trips in rental cars can also be recommended.

Dabei sind die Grundvoraussetz ungen die gleichen: Auch Kreta wird im Sommer konstant vom Meltemi belüftet. “Die gängigen Wetterdienste berücksichtigen allerdings nicht die lokalen Effekte”, weiß Stationsleiter Hannes. Dank thermischer Verstärkung kann man bei der üblichen Meltemi-Wetterlage getrost zwei Beaufort dazurechnen. Aus einer Zwölf-Knoten- Vorhersage wird dann schnell ein Tag mit dem 5,0er-Segel.”
