Nous avons passé une semaine à Thalasea Sports avec une amie pour kiter. Le club était juste en face de notre hôtel et le vent était au rendez-vous. Que ce soit Pascal ou Lou au bureau, Andreas chef de la location, Savannah monitrice et j'en oublie, l'équipe est super sympa, très professionnelle, et le matériel à disposition est top. Je conseille vivement ce club à ceux qui veulent rider à Naxos. Malorie et Joëlle de Genève

Dès l’accueil, Lou a été incroyable : souriante, arrangeante et très professionnelle. L’organisation était fluide et adaptée à nos besoins. Côté apprentissage, un grand merci aux moniteurs Fao, Pénélope et Jacques : pédagogues, patients et motivants. Grâce à eux, nous avons appris super vite et en toute sécurité, le tout dans une ambiance détendue et conviviale. Une expérience mémorable que nous recommandons les yeux fermés, aussi bien pour découvrir le kitesurf que pour progresser rapidement. Merci à toute l’équipe !

The team is super friendly. Andrea met me on the beach and gave me a quick rundown. The boys quickly set me up and i was on my way in the water in a few mins. The spot is quite nice for wingfoiling. Gets deep straight away. Nice scenery around and not too crowded. Would definitely go there again. I was riding a duotone wing and board, decent quality intermediate gear. If you're an advanced winger, better to have your own gear.

Je recommande tres fortement ce centre : Nous (3 personnes) avons bénéficié d un accompagnement par des moniteurs de kite de très grande qualité (Joanne, Savanna et Fao). Le centre est géré par une personne (Lou) très arrangeante et efficace pour organiser au mieux vos sessions pendant tout votre séjour. Enfin il faut souligner le très bel emplacement sur la plage et la proximité immédiate d un restaurant/bar de plage tres sympa et agréables(pour un café, un dej, un verre au coucher du soleil ou un diner)

Been at the Thalasea kite center for a two week vacation and definitely did not get disappointed, neither by the place itself right at the beach, nor by the friendly crew. Andreas, Pascal and everyone else at the station were very welcoming and always helpful. I took some kite-foiling lessons there with a very helpful and most importantly, patient, instructor (Fao…hope I spelled your name correctly, if not, sorry😌) that managed to teach me as slow learner the fundamentals of foiling. That tells it all about the high quality of the station‘s instructors. Definitely a place to come back to!

Für Kitesurfer der Place-to-be auf Naxos. Das Mietmaterial ist neu und hochwertig. Die Hilfe bei der Auswahl ist freundlich und perfekt. Der Preis ist fair. Im Shop gibt es nützliche Accessoires und schöne Shirts. Am Strand hilft der freundliche und nette Mitarbeiter (Andreas?) bei Start und Landung. Auch während der Session hat er immer ein wachsames Auge. Rundum ist alles perfekt. Ich war die letzten 2 Jahre hier. Es gab immer Wind. Wir kommen wieder!!!

Von gut aufgebauten Bascic bis zu meinen ersten richtigen metern und schluss endlich auch das hin und herfahren habe ich in diesen 2 Sommern dort gelernt.

Highly recommend! Friendly staff, great location and the restaurant has delicious food and drinks as well. I had three private wingfoil lessons from Fao. There is an option to go out with a boat if the wind is onshore. Later in the week the wind was less than forecasted, the lessons could easily be rescheduled to another day with better winds.

Friendly and helpful staff. My son and I both rented wing foil gear here. They put us in exactly the right stuff (one advanced and one beginner rider) and showed us the specifics of the bay. Very flexible on timing and reasonable rates. Amazing wind. Saw big turtles. Scenery is over the top. And Good gear! Highly recommended!!!

I've been going to Thalasea for the last two years and everyone involved in the school is friendly, professional and welcoming. First of all it's the only school in Naxos that's on the beach, the location of this school is the best in Naxos! Secondly the restaurant and bar is phenomenon, everything is delicious and Nikos is simply the best! Lastly the kite school; I've taken classes in many different conditions with two different instructors. Both Melina and Joanna were amazing; very professional, friendly and patient. My last lessons with Joanna were game changers, she has a talent for simplifying what you should do, which makes things much easier. Andreas is always smiling, always ready to provide you with the best experience possible, even if it is dog-sitting your dog while you go out and enjoy your ride. The whole energy and the vibe of the place is very peaceful and welcoming, it is an amazing space to hang out even if you're not into kite surf. Thank you to everyone involved, can't wait to be back.

This where my girlfriend and I learned kitesurfing for the first time. The experience was great. The instructors speak multiple languages and very professional. They take safety very seriously which eased our nerves. It was very easy organizing sessions as they used WhatsApp and just texted when conditions were forecasted to be good. The school is also part of a nice beach bar/restaurant which was great to hang out after being in the water for several hours. I don't know much about equipment but I have heard their stuff is high quality. They have everything you need so just come with a swimsuit. If you have the flexibility and go during the windy season I would suggest to try to have your sessions as long as possible to be efficient. With multiple sessions, setting up and breaking down the kite eats into your time.

As someone who’s not yet an independent kitesurfer, I wasn’t sure at first if Mikri Vigla would be the right spot for me, but I have no regrets! :) The location was beautiful, the Thalasea team is lovely and welcoming, and I had a great teacher in Fao, whose calm and supportive teaching style was exactly what I needed. I learned a lot and had a fantastic time! Thank you guys :)

I had an amazing experience with this kite school! The instructor was incredibly professional, patient, and made sure I felt confident throughout the lessons. Even though we had limited wind during the week, the school went out of their way to find the best slots for me to maximize my time on the water. The equipment provided was top-notch, and the advice and guidance I received were excellent. I truly felt that the team was invested in helping me get the most out of my experience. I would highly recommend this kite school to anyone looking to learn or improve their kiteboarding skills!
