About this spot
Drepano is one of Europe’s standout kite spots. A long sand spit near Rio creates a distinctive setup with flat water on one side and chop on the other, powered by reliable thermal and venturi-driven winds. The spot is a deep-water location best suited for freeride, freestyle, and big air. During the main season from March to September, winds typically range from 15 to 25 knots. The area is well-equipped with kite schools, parking, and proximity to the city of Patras. Riders should be mindful of the narrow launch areas, deep water, and strong currents near the bridge. It is primarily an intermediate to advanced spot due to the technical nature of the launch and gusty conditions near objects.
