About this audio guide
This guide to Panormos Beach in Mykonos opens with a question for kitesurfers: would you trust your board to carry you somewhere you cannot see from the launch beach, riding thirty knots of Meltemi wind? It follows the tacking crossing from bases like Ftelia or Korfos, a route guides call strong wind, real distance, and no rescue boat waiting. You'll hear what makes this an experienced rider's spot rather than a lesson beach, and what the sheltered bay looks like once the last headland gives way. Stand at the water's edge and look back toward Ftelia, across the stretch every kiter here has already crossed once.
