Overview

Edit

Orikum is quite interesting because very often different thermal fronts of wind descend from the heights of Çika mountain and Llogara Pass

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
