Jul 30, 2010, Greek Islands Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Adventure in August.
Greek Cycladic Islands in the Aegean Sea are spectacular and windy this time of the year and the best of them is Naxos Island. The strong, dry north winds of the Aegean Sea called Meltem blow here from about mid-May to mid-September. Usually the wind starts in the early morning reaching 16–20 knots by 11:30 a.m. Later in the afternoon it can pick up to 30 knots when an additional sea breeze kicks in. The wind dies out at sun set.
