Sehr professionelles und herzliches Kitecenter. Schon die Anmeldung vor dem Urlaub war unkompliziert und besonders vertrauenswürdig (deutsch und englisch). Vor Ort wurden wir dann von Jasmin super freundlich empfangen. Top Material, schneller unkomplizierter Wechsel der Kite-Größen und vor allem ein sehr gutes Sicherheitsgefühl durch die aufmerksame Beobachtung der Bucht und das jederzeit bereite Boot. Auch das Team am Strand um Andreas war jederzeit aufmerksam, hilfsbereit und wirklich engagiert – genau so, wie man es sich an einer guten Kitestation wünscht. Dazu ein schöner sauberer Sandstrand und die gemütliche Taverne direkt daneben. Ich hatte vor dem Urlaub mehrere Kitecenter auf Naxos recherchiert und bin mir sicher, hier die richtige Wahl getroffen zu haben.

I had a fantastic experience at the kite centre. I initially booked a two-hour lesson but they were understanding and allowed me to continue kiting with rented equipment. This honesty was appreciated and the price was reduced without any negotiation since I was already equipped. They also built my confidence to ride independently which was great. I’ll definitely be back.

We had a great experience at Thalasea! The whole team is incredibly friendly and kind, always ready to help and make you feel comfortable. They are also very honest and fair when it comes to prices, which we really appreciated! The kite spot is beautiful, with a huge beach and plenty of space. There is also a nice area sheltered from the wind, perfect for anyone who just wants to relax while the others are kitesurfing. The beach bar is also really lovely and a great place to chill, have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere! We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Thalasea. We hope to come back very soon!

I rented kite equipment from Kite Center Naxos by Thalasea Sports for over a week and was very happy with the quality of the gear. The spot in Mikri Vigla also offered very reliable wind conditions and was perfect for kitesurfing. My girlfriend took a course and received excellent, individual 1-on-1 instruction. Overall, a very professional and highly recommended kite center – we will definitely come back!

Great kiting centre in Naxos on the main kite beach at the south end of Plaka - Mikri Villa. With a great cafe restaurant attached to relax between sessions. Rahel was a brilliant calm skilled and patient teacher who really helped me get to the next level in the challenging high winds and choppy waters. Highly recommend the school and the spot. Matt

Ik heb een paar dagen achter elkaar lessen gevolgd en heb een goede basis meegekregen, er is goed aangeleerd hoe je met de materialen om moet gaan en kite controle werd erg goed uitgelegd. De mensen van de school zijn erg relaxed en sympathiek. Al met al een fijne school en een goede ervaring!

I wholeheartedly recommend this school! A huge plus for the organization: the administrator is always responsive, and scheduling lessons is super flexible and easy at almost any time. Big thanks for the focus on safety as well the equipment and protective gear are in top-notch condition, which makes you feel completely secure. But the absolute highlight for me was my instructor, Joanna! I was really second-guessing myself and was terrified of both the sea and the kite, but Joanna turned out to be 100% the right person for me. She’s a true pro and amazingly empathetic. Everything was explained so clearly, with zero boring theory or confusing technical jargon. Step by step, gently, and without a bit of stress, she helped me understand the mechanics and overcome my fears. I walked away with unforgettable emotions and pure joy!

My instructor Nico was really friendly, patient, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident on the water. I would definitely recommend these lessons to anyone who wants to learn kitesurfing. I had a great time and would absolutely do it again!

We had an amazing 12 days on beautiful Naxos, staying in Mikri Vigla and kitesurfing with the Thalasea Kite Center. Jacques is a fantastic teacher. I learned a lot during our lessons and, most importantly, gained much more confidence for my independent sessions in Mikri Vigla. His guidance made a real difference. The whole Thalasea crew was wonderful — professional, friendly, encouraging, and always creating a great atmosphere. It was a pleasure spending our days with them. We absolutely loved our time in Mikri Vigla and would highly recommend Thalasea Kite Center to anyone looking for great kitesurfing, excellent instruction, and a genuinely welcoming crew. We’ll definitely be back! 🤙

Un grand merci à Lou pour son accueil et son aide en amont de notre arrivée. Un immense bravo également à Jacques et Pénélope pour leur grand professionnalisme et leur pédagogie lors de nos sessions de kitesurf avec mon beau-fils 15h et on tient déjà debout ! Naviguant depuis mon plus jeune âge (windsurf, caravelle, laser...) et ayant côtoyé de nombreux coachs, je peux vous assurer que ces deux-là sont de véritables pépites ! Ils sortent vraiment du lot par leur méthode et leur passion. Je recommande à 200%

We had an amazing experience with Thalasea! The school is well organized, with excellent facilities and professional service from start to finish. The instructors are outstanding, patient, and always willing to share detailed, practical tips that really helped us improve our kitesurfing skills. Their coaching made a huge difference. The restaurant is another highlight, delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a super friendly team. We loved being able to enjoy our meals while watching all the colorful kites on the water. We spent almost our entire vacation here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

I came to Thalasea with a real fear of the water and a lot of anxiety about kitesurfing. Then I met Asia, a fantastic Polish instructor, who somehow worked her magic. She is patient, calm, incredibly supportive and absolutely brilliant at what she does. She is the first instructor who truly helped me overcome my fear of the water and actually start enjoying kitesurfing. I never thought I would make this much progress or feel this confident. If you are looking for someone who will make you feel safe, understood and capable, I cannot recommend Asia highly enough!

Der Spot und das Kite Center sind wirklich top! Ich bin immer sehr spontan vorbei gekommen, um mir die Ausrüstung auszuleihen und das war überhaupt kein Problem. Andreas und sein Team waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben mich perfekt ausgerüstet. Einmal waren alle passenden Kites bereits am Wasser und das Team hat es trotzdem geschafft mich aufs Wasser zu bringen. Das Restaurant ist auch sehr empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank nochmal und ich freue mich wieder bei euch Kiten zu können!

Great spot to start into this amazing sport. For an bloody beginner with no board and kite experience at all, Max, my personal coach (and a little bit of me myself😊) managed to get me waterstarted after 5 days. For me it went surprisingly smooth and fast, without feeling pressured. He identified weeknesses to focus and train on very quickly. The whole Thalasea Team is more than polite and professionial in any respect. Thank you for having a great time with you!

Prezzi in linea con gli altri, disponibilità e gentilezza di tutto il personale, sia in negozio per affittare l'attrezzatura che in spiaggia per partire e rientrare con il kite. Attrezzatura decisamente all'altezza. Spot molto caotico ma bolinando verso nord si riesce ad evitare la maggior parte dei kite. Tornerei volentieri!
