The kitesurf spot facing Antiparos
On the southwest coast, facing Antiparos — and the spot where the ferry to that island docks. The narrow channel funnels the Meltemi into a steady, strong side-shore wind.
It is one of the top kite/windsurf spots in the Cyclades, with schools and gear rental; a relaxed, sporty atmosphere rather than a polished resort.

About this beach

The shoreline at Pounta faces south-east, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds.
