Windsurfing Holiday Prasonisi In South Rhodes
In the very South of Rhodes is the small wind haven of Prasonisi, approximately a 1-and-a-half-hour drive from Rhodes airport. This resort is dedicated to windsurfing, wing foiling, and kitesurfing with reliable, strong winds and well-stocked centres with the latest equipment. There are two horseshoe-shaped bays connected with a sandbar; one side is super flat water for Windsurfing and Wing foil only, and on the other side there are small waves predominantly for kitesurfing.
Directly on the Beach of Parsonsi there is a small cluster of restaurants, shops and a few small hotels, the best of which is The Oasis Prasonisi. This is a great place to stay for dedicated windsurfers who want to spend as much time on the water as possible. If you want a more luxurious experience, or you are travelling with a non-windsurfing partner or family, we recommend the Atrium Prestige which is just 20 20-minute drive away. This is a fantastic hotel with amazing value for money; we have exceptional prices.
The Spot
Want flat water and waves in the same spot? This is the place! Prasonisi sailing area basically consists of 2 bays backing onto one another with the wind blowing directly across the sandy beach between them. Therefore, you have one bay with offshore wind / super flat water and the other bay with onshore wind / small waves (maximum 2 metres). There is a good rescue service for windsurfers and kitesurfers which makes sailing on the offshore side quite safe and really good fun.The Wind
The wind in Prasonisi is very strong and very reliable, normally you would expect 25 - 26 days per month of 20 - 30 knots!! It’s the NW “Meltemi” trade wind that blows across the whole Med in the summer. Hot weather in mainland Europe creates a very dry and very stable high pressure which funnels this NW wind through the Greek Islands. Due to local topography, the wind funnels through the island opposite Prasonisi and the large hill behind it Prasonisi will usually have a force stronger than elsewhere on the island. The windsurfing season is May to mid October with the strongest winds in July/August.The local wind is a thermal effect so it's best in the summer months. It's worth noting that the wind here seems to be dominated by local effects so the windguru forecast doesn't bear much relation to the actual conditions.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
Talk to a Windsurf travel expert — not a call centre.
Tell us your dates, your level and what a perfect week looks like. We'll come back with a shortlist of spots with the right conditions and the right hotel — usually within one working day.
