More about Limnos
Limnos offers a peaceful escape for your next windsurfing holiday, away from the crowds and mass tourism enterprises found on other Greek islands. This lovely Greek island is set in the northern part of the Aegean Sea and is home to about 30 small villages and the only desert in Europe. Easily reached with a 2-3 hour flight from the UK, and a whole host of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Limnos is one of those easy no fuss travel destinations.
The Windsurfing
While the island of Limnos has a few fantastic spots for independent windsurfer’s, Planet’s operations focus around Keros Bay. Keros Bay is a unique windsurfing location in that it offers three different types of windsurfing conditions on the same beach. Freestyle and freeride maniacs as well as beginners will love the superb flat water right next to the centre, while slightly further out slight chop is perfect for perfecting skills and just a few metres downwind, you will find ideal conditions for your first wave riding. The small, gently breaking waves are just made for it!
During the summer months from June to September you can expect temperatures of between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, warm water, no rain and reliable wind. This bay is also great for beginners and improvers with a sandy bottom, no significant tidal movements and rescue boats on hand to ensure your safety. The beaches are also sandy and wide – so finding a spot to rig equipment is easy.
When in Limnos
Limnos offers countless attractions to enjoy when you are not on the water. You can spend your day exploring the numerous historical sites on the island or simply hopping from tavern to tavern to sample the phenomenal local cuisine. Other things to do in the area include diving and snorkelling, cycling and quad biking, fishing, walking and running, visits to the thermal springs and bird watching.
Planet works with Keros Blue – a brand new seaside complex on the island that is located within five minutes walking distance of Keros Beach.
This trendy new hotel offers an on site restaurant, cocktail bar, yoga platform and bike and surf equipment rental while wine tasting tours, historical tours and island excursions can be arranged for those rare no wind days!
