The Greek seas are considered as the ideal settings for all sailing, surfing, windsurfing and SUP enthusiasts, but what is it that makes surfing in the Aegean and Ionian so unique? No doubt, it has to be the often perfect conditions that prevail in the Greek seas, which are the mild and gradual changes in temperature, steady and predictable winds, the absence of tides and strong currents and temperatures hovering around 35 degrees Celsius, keeping the wind and water warm.
