Hey kiwibro,

Thats exactly the beach that I worked at in summer '06 and '07... Plakawatersports is the place to go... wicked gear, great people with good advice... Ask them for the famous 'Michael Powell' (me) and they should laugh their asses off... Its a father/son business... Kostas is the older and Stef is the younger rock at the station... both great guys!

Plaka is the most beautiful beach on Naxos, in my opinion... The water is crystal clear! Great sailing spot... The wind is side-off shore which makes it perfect for beginners close to the beach and great for more experienced who want to go out to find more wind.... When the wind picks up it DEFINATELY picks up as the winds funnel thru the channel between the west coast of Naxos and the east coast Paros... Lots of fun...

There is also a cheap camping place 200m from the station called maragas camping... Its right on the beach and Its quite cheap but make sure you book early to secure a spot...

anyway check out

- plaka-watersports.com/ for the windsurfing station
- www.maragascamping.gr/ for cheap quality camping

hope that helps
Michael

yeah that comment was a bit tongue in cheek.....
am staying at Athina ($$$$) but if I don't have a job to come back too ( mining boom death throws) then may go back and stay at the camp and sail my brains out for a couple of months and then come home for the WA summer session.
what is the best way to hire gear by the day , book ahead..if I mention your name would i get a ~mates rate~

am looking forward to it......thanks for the feedback

kiwi bro,

the best way to rent windsurfing gear is pay for the maximum time you want to sail instead of day by day... If there is wind and you want to sail alot you will be able to sail so much more for your money... you can buy per hour up to 4 hrs then you start getting hours cards (5,10 and 20)... the hours cards enable you to sail when ever you want anyday until you make up the time... very flexible...

unfortunately your chance are slim of getting any discount but give it a go.... Mention my name (michael powell) and you'll never know..
have a chat with them... they'll surely sort you out...
