The Maestrale thermal wind sets in at midday with remarkable regularity from June to September, blowing between 15 and 20 knots. In winter, the southeast Sirocco brings more committed conditions with medium to strong waves.
Gallipoli — Baia Verde
IntermediateBaia Verde, south of Gallipoli, is the main kite spot on the central Ionian coast. The fine sand beach offers easy water entry.
