We met Michele, the school owner, and the other instructors, all very kind and professional. The place is super nice and very comfortable, with the bar, the market and everything you need. The kite spot is awesome for people who want to improve, while it is challenging for beginners. Super advised!! read less - 18/08/19

We picked Flisvos Kite Center due to the IKO certification. Not total beginners we had lessons before, so we did a little fresh up at the beach. Due to less wind we had to postpone the remaining 2 hours to an other day. Our instructor Iuri even texted us when the wind picked up again.
The atmosphere was very familiar, we enjoyed it a lot! Michele and his team were very professional concerning equipment, conditions and teaching.

Restaurant*****
Nice mix of Italian and Greek food! Especially the Spagetti with seafood! We loved the mixture of just getting a decent coffee after class in beachwear and the cozy restaurant flair in the evening. Every Wednesday there's Greek live music.
The price is, compared to the surrounding taverns, slightly higher.

Thanks again for the great stay!!

Safety for both yourself and other kitesurfers are important for them, and their priority is to give you a good experience in the water. The price is really good compare to other kitecentres. I will highly recommend them to everyone who wants to try kitesurfing! read less - 05/07/19

Flisvos in Naxos exceeded my expectations regarding all my requirements. Michele was very helpful via e-mail and answered all my questions I had in advance. The beach was absolutely amazing: beautiful blue water and picturesque landscapes. I felt very safe and motivated from the very first lesson. The istructor Simon was very clear and enthusiastic. I was able to progress very fast by receiving immediate feedback from him about „why“ & „how“ does the kite react to my movements. My biggest worry was the cold water of May though, but with the wetsuits provided by Flisvos, I felt very warm, happy and energized in the water. By listening to the instructor through the walktytalky in my helmet, I felt very safe during all exercises. I really enjoyed the vibe on the land as well: the school has a nice terrace to sit outside and relax after the lesson, a restaurant and a bar. All in all, I had a fantastic first experience kite surfing and I cannot wait to continue the courses. read less - 10/05/19

They have RRD kites and boards and the rental also includes a harness and wet suit, if you need them. You have to do a test before renting, to show that you are an independent and upwind rider and I included an hour's instruction, as I hadn't kite-surfed for about 6 months. I didn't mind this, as safety is very important for me when kite-boarding.

The equipment was good and I was pleasantly surprized by the RRD Passion kites, which are well-suited to the spot, but they have other RRD models too. The station is a short walk to the beach where there is a small hut, where you can store some stuff in the shade and use the school's pumps. There were quite a few instructors teaching various levels of students while I was there and they were really helpful and friendly, including helping to launch my kite.

This was early September. The water was warm, but a shorty wet suit is recommended. I liked the spot. The wind is side-onshore from the right into the bay. So, if anything should happen, you would always drift towards shore. During my 12 days of rental there were 8 days of wind from about 11 to 28 knots, so I tried out a number of different kite sizes and conditions. I sometimes did an evening session and the great thing here is that you can take the equipment back up to about 18:30, unlike other rentals I know where you have to start packing up at about 4 pm. And there's nothing better than those sunset sessions!

Mikri Vigla itself is about 20 minutes from Naxos Town (Chora) and it's recommended to hire a car or quad, as many did, to get around. Naxos Island has a lot to see, which we did on the low-wind days.

All in all, a highly recommended spot and kite center! read less - 17/09/18
