Rhodes

Greece

Rhodes saves its best wind for Prasonisi, a sandy spit at the island's southern tip where two seas meet around a tidal sandbar. One side is flat and shallow, perfect for beginners and freestyle, while the other offers chop and waves for those wanting more. The summer Meltemi, a strong northerly that sweeps the Aegean from June to September, makes wind almost a daily certainty in peak season. Add Greek sunshine, warm water and the rest of Rhodes to explore on light-wind days, and you have a spot that genuinely suits all levels.
