Ftelia Beach
Φτελιά
A wide bay on the north coast where the steady north wind makes it a windsurfing destination, with dunes and archaeological sites adding a wild touch.
Ftelia Beach lies on the eastern side of Panormos Bay on the north coast, about 4 km from Ano Mera. It is a wide sandy bay with well-preserved dunes and Neolithic settlement remains nearby. The summer meltemi is steady and strong, making this a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot in the Aegean. Surf schools offer equipment rental and lessons. The beach has a few restaurants and loungers, and most of it remains in its natural state. Swimming can be risky on windy days, so families with children should choose south coast beaches. You can drive or ride a bike, as no bus goes directly there.
