Routes & Accommodations Kitesurfing in Salento
Simplify your trip organization. From the traditional Masseria to the wild spot, we've mapped out the route for you.
Organization
The Art of Planning Your Kite Trip Stress-Free
Organizing a kitesurfing trip to Salento can seem complex: between the two coasts with radically different conditions, the dozens of spots scattered over 200 km of coastline and the local logistics, it's easy to lose precious time. That's why we've designed itineraries tested and approved by local riders, combined with a selection of accommodations less than 10 minutes from the best spots. Our goal: that you spend your energy on the water, not on Google Maps.
