Local tips
Ten minutes from Rhodes airport and the most accessible spot on the island. No school on site so bring your own gear. The thermal boost from Monte Smith can push the top end higher than forecast in June. Choppy water and a side to offshore direction mean you should know your upwind ability before heading out.
