I Love Thalassea and will do some more lessons with my fav kite instructor Melina next year! Really nicke people in the team and the Café is a very calm and relaxing space to chill 👍🏼☺️🌊🏄🏻♀️
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!
Waren im September im Kite Center. Super nette Leute & super Equipment. Hat alles sehr easy geklappt - wir kommen gerne wieder!
Great staff. Equipment was new in perfect conditions. Super friendly. Hope to get back next time in naxos!
Probably the best kite center of Naxos: nice people, good quality of advices, good quality of equipment, honesty, support and encouragement. Thanks to Andreas for his kindness and open mindedness.. :-)
Rented a full set of hear here for two days. Duotone kites - my favorite! First day was lighter so rode a 13, second day I stole an early session on an 11m before we had to leave. They were very helpful and accommodating, efficient process too which is great because who wants to dink around when the wind is blowing . All kinds of gear to suit your needs, and a fun spot to kite. The water is so clear!! It does get a bit busy but it's wide open upwind if you make the effort. Thanks for some great sessions!!
What a beautiful spot! Great kitesurfing conditions and the thalasea team is just great, super nice people and always super supportive. I can absolutely recommend that place! 👍🤙🤙
Great little kite center, very friendly and helpful staff.
Thalasea was amazing! First time kite surfer here and the Thalasea instructors were great, getting me up and riding, transitioning, and riding up wind in no time. I will be back next summer specifically to visit them again!! 🙏
Excellente semaine de kite à Naxos ! Le centre Thalasea est idéalement situé sur le spot de Mikri Viglia, avec en prime un bar restaurant hors pair, de quoi ravir tout le monde ! Un accueil personnalisé et une prise en charge professionnelle par toute l'équipe. Toujours en contact radio avec le moniteur, j'ai pu prendre confiance dans des conditions parfois denses sur le spot. 5 jours de vent sur 7 début août , je suis ravi du stage ! A refaire sans hésiter !
Spot ottimo per chi vuole imparare e progredire. Vento costante e mare piatto. Il titolare del kite center thalasea Andrea, la compagna e tutto il team di una gentilezza e professionalità unica. Consigliatissimo.
Wonderful experience! Great Location, great teachers!!!!! Melena & Jaques were amazing!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!
We had 14 hours of kite lessons with Mike . It was great ! Fantastic team of teachers . Great beach.
Bonne ambiance et super spot pour les sports de glisse windsurf wingfoil kitesurf... resto et belle plage complètent le beau tableau
I had the absolute pleasure of spending time at the kitesurfing spot in Mikri Vigla and training with the amazing team at Thalasea. Jasmine and Andrea, the owners, are truly wonderful people who create such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I had my lessons with Dimitris two years ago, and I learned so much in such a short amount of time thanks to his excellent instruction. The equipment provided is top-notch, and the whole team is incredibly flexible, always accommodating your needs with a smile. Also because Jasmine and Andrea speak so many languages fluently, it doesn’t matter where you are from, you will get along instantly in your mother tongue 😜 The location itself is breathtaking – the beach is one of a kind, with stunning sunsets that warm you heart and will stay for you as an unforgettable memory. Right next to the spot is a super cool beach bar with delicious food, great drinks, and super friendly and funny owner. You feel instantly comfortable and at home, surrounded by good vibes and the perfect holiday atmosphere. The combination of kiting, Greek coffee, marvelous food, time on your hand to unwind, read a book and stare into the distance and with a clear view all the way to Paros, and of course being surrounded by genuine, happy, ambitious, helpful, and beautiful people, inside and out, makes Thalasea the best Kite Center I have ever been and all one needs to recharge with life’s joy!!! I cannot recommend Thalasea and the entire experience enough. It’s pure relaxation, and a perfect place to learn or improve your kitesurfing skills. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and special time. Thank you very much Jasmine, Andrea, Mitso and Nikos! Polla filia apo to Berolino 🥰
C’était trop cool de pouvoir louer du matos de kite. Très grand choix de matériel en très bonne état . Ne changez rien pour la prochaine fois. 🤙
Extremely responsive and knowledgeable leadership. Good, fun instructors. The centre is right on the water - no need to walk to the beach. Has a lovely, high quality cafe, from where you can see kitesurfers. I did 10 days of lessons: would highly recommend learning to kitesurf here. This beach in Naxos has very consistent wind: highly recommend it!
Πολύ καλός εξοπλισμός πολύ καλό προσωπικό ιδίως ο φίλος μου ο Δημήτρης στην ρεσεψιον που εξυπηρετεί στο 100%
Best sunset spot. Friendly staff. Came back 3 times in my week stay in Naxos
Très bonne expérience de ce centre de Kite. Mes enfants de 13 et 15 ans ont pris des leçons et ont été ravis de leur prof.
De super profs, ce centre de kite est réactif et arrangeant. Un grand merci. Nous avons progressé en kite
It's a chilled spot on a great beachocation. The instructors are brilliant and my 14yr old daughter and I had a learning with Thalasea sports. Thanks to Penelope and Timo and the team.
There are numerous kite surfing companies in Naxos. These guys are the best.
A professional team of experts that leave nothing to chance. Advanced security measures and you feel immediately well taken care off and ready for the learning journey!

I Highlight recommend this kitecenter. I was impressed with their professionalism and Services.
Ein super nettes und unkompliziertes Team, mit Jacques ein toller und kompetenter Trainer und genug Wind in dieser wunderschönen Bucht - was will man mehr? Ich freue mich schon, wenn mich mein Weg wieder hierhin führt. Klare Empfehlung!
Beautiful and best place for kite surf, good restaurant. Nice instructors and good equipment.
Sind schon zum zweiten Mal hier. Extrem kompetentes Team, sehr entspannt - und sehr freundlich. Ich wollte mir eine Pumpe kaufen, weil ich meine zu Hause in der Wingfoiltasche vergessen hatte - sie haben mir abgeraten, weil ich mir eh eine von ihnen ausborgen könne… Der Umgang mit den Schülern ist sehr professionell und wertschätzend
Excellent kiteclub, très professionnel. Ambiance sympa, conditions de navigations parfaites. Le matériel a la location est d excellente qualité, les profs sont bons, bref la vie est belle à Thalaseasport !
Very good and professional station. I did kitesurfing lessons and wingfoil lessons (from the boot - so very efficient). Very friendly and good teachers, top material, good facilities including a nice Restaurant. Definitely a good place to go for watersports if you are in Naxos! I had a lot of fun. Usually they have very good wind conditions from april to october.
Super spot ! La vue est incroyable. L’équipe est très serviable et toujours de bonne humeur. Nous sommes toujours acceuillis chaleureusement !
Very fair and reliable Kite Center directly at the beach. Perfect lessons with instructor Joanna. I can highly recommend to choose this Kite Center.
Accueil au top profs, au top, conditions de rêve ! Best holidays 🤩😎🤙
