Iraklio Kite Club - iKiTe

As a beginner, I felt completely safe and supported from the very start. The instructor (Panos) gave clear, precise instructions, was incredibly patient and always prioritized safety. I felt like I made quick progress, which made the whole experience not only fun but also confidence-boosting!! You can really feel the passion and professionalism here! 🤙🏼 100% recommended!!! I can’t wait to come back!!! 🌊

I can only recommend Panos and his great kitesurfing school: I was a complete beginner and Panos taught me the basics and more in private lessons (in English). He gave me valuable and constructive feedback and most importantly sparked my curiosity as well as my passion for kitesurfing. He is a patient, experienced and kind instructor who encourages you and is very focused on your individual needs and progress. Safety was always a paramount during the lessons (on the beach and in the water) and the equipment is excellent and of high quality. Same goes for the school's facilities and service. As I visited the kite school in the low season, the kite spot was super good for intensive learning/training. Thank you, Panos, for taking your time and for the great experience! I had much fun and hope I can come back soon to take more lessons. :)

Excellent instructor,facilities,equipement and safety. As i am begginer all instruction was clear and easy unerstand to follow. I had a great time thwre if someone looking for Kitesurf lessons i am recommending it there!

First Panos asked me several questions about my experiences in kitesurfing, what I practice, what I prefer because usually I use my own gear, in my country and also often when I travel, I began kitesurfing in 2002 and since practiced 15 to 25 days a year. With some technical questions he verified my skills to be sure that I was able to go alone. He gave me safety équipements. He let me chose my board and kite, also to verify my experience to chose the good size whith the wind and waves we had. He looked at me preparing my kite, but verified if it was right. He gave me all the good informations about the spot, the kite zone, the risks, what to take care, and the best way to use and enjoy the spot. He watched at me during I was kiting and was there to launch and drop my kite. Good instructor and a school that I will recommand.

Fantastic I took an hour kite course every day during my 2 weeks holiday and I am thrilled. The guys from the kite school "Ikite" Panos and Kostas are very good teachers. They learn very precisely in detail, every day anew all the hand movements for safety. The equipment was new and in very good condition. We learned a lot of technique and it is a lot of fun. I was connected to the instructor by radio and he was able to give me precise instructions in the water. It was a very successful and challenging kite course.

we had 2 weeks of constant strong wind and waves - for beginners a challenge, especially if you start kiting only at 51 years - but with the kite instructors of I-Kite no problem; Panos offers excellent lessons, is very attentive and especially looks at safety - the equipment is first class, from sails to boards to clothing and walkytalky equipment, everything is up to date and very well organized - especially reliability and punctuality are to be emphasized, the I-Kite school was very close to our hotel and the contact with Panos was first class - so we had a totally relaxed kite vacation with good results

I am happy with what I achieved. There were small hiccups: for example sometimes someone else trained me and he used different “language” and attention than the instructor in subject who was always very precise and consistent in his way of teaching. I must say I am feeling quite ready to improve my skills although I couldn’t surf a lot. I recommend this school and I am thankful for the education I received.

I had some basic kitesurf experience when I arrived at iKite and managed to progress a great deal thanks to the excellent guidance from Panos and Antek. The conditions were tough (lots of waves and side-onshore-wind) but it was fun and i managed to learn better doing small jumps over the waves, riding upwind and doing turns 😀 Thanks also to the instructors for their patience and the good tips! I’m already looking forward to my next kitesurf session and hope to come back to Crete! All the best, philippe

Great experience - in a great spot by the way - with Panos where I learnt precise moves and technics in an easy way as he's very good at teaching/explaining, and in a different as well as complementary way than what I learnt in France. I do recommend him as a teacher!

Good to learn with panos in beautiful place. I need to pratice more by myself now and carry on to take lessons to be autonomous. Very Good expérience and Thanks panos for his time and dévotion !
