Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Do I need experience for water sports in Mykonos?

A: No! Most water sports activities welcome complete beginners with no experience necessary. Jet skiing requires just a brief safety briefing (15-20 minutes). Paddleboarding is easy to learn in 10 minutes. Windsurfing and kitesurfing need lessons - beginner courses teach basics in 2-3 hours. Parasailing requires zero skill - you just enjoy the ride! Instructors are professionals experienced with beginners. All activities include safety equipment and briefings. If you've never tried water sports, Mykonos is a perfect place to start! Advanced athletes also find challenging conditions and quality instruction. Everyone is welcomed!

Q:How much do water sports cost in Mykonos?

A: Prices vary by activity: Jet ski rentals €60-100 for 30 minutes (some tours offer better rates), parasailing €60-80 per person, paddleboard rentals €15-25/hour, windsurfing lessons €50-80/hour, kitesurfing lessons €80-120/hour, wakeboarding €60-90 per session, and flyboarding €100-150. Multi-activity packages (€120-180) offer better value. Private lessons cost more but advance faster. Equipment is always included. Prices are similar to other Mediterranean islands. Peak season (July-August) sometimes has premiums. Booking through tours can be cheaper than beach rentals. Budget €60-100 for a fun water sports afternoon!

Q:What are the best beaches for water sports?

A: Ftelia Beach (north coast) is THE spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing - reliable winds and dedicated areas. Paradise Beach offers the most variety - jet skis, parasailing, banana boats, flyboarding, and more. Super Paradise Beach has good water sports plus party atmosphere. Kalafatis Beach is excellent for windsurfing and waterskiing with less crowd than Paradise. Ornos Beach offers family-friendly water sports in calm waters. Platis Gialos has good variety and is accessible. Each beach has different specialties - tours help you find the right spot for your preferred activity!

Q:What is the Meltemi wind?

A: The Meltemi is the famous Aegean wind blowing from the north during summer (June-September), particularly July-August! It creates the reliable winds that make the Cyclades excellent for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The Meltemi typically starts mid-morning and peaks mid-afternoon (20-30 knots common, sometimes 35+). It brings cooler temperatures on hot summer days - a natural air conditioning! For beach relaxation, Meltemi can be annoying (sand blowing, rough seas on north coasts). For wind sports, it's perfect! South-facing beaches are more sheltered. The wind is predictable and seasonal - crucial to Aegean climate and culture.

Q:Is it safe to do water sports in Mykonos?

A: Yes! Water sports operators in Mykonos follow strict safety standards with certified instructors, modern equipment, and comprehensive safety protocols. All activities include life vests and safety briefings. Support boats monitor water sports areas. The Aegean has minimal currents and predictable conditions. Operators check weather daily and cancel if conditions are unsafe. That said, water sports carry inherent risks - follow instructions, don't overestimate abilities, and respect the sea! Activities are very safe when done properly with professional operators. Millions participate safely each summer. Choose licensed, established operators - don't accept random beach offers without proper equipment!

Q:Can children do water sports?

A: Yes, many water sports are suitable for children! Paddleboarding works for kids 8+, parasailing typically requires 12+ years, jet skis often require 16+ to drive alone (younger can ride as passengers with adults). Many beaches offer banana boat rides, pedal boats, and inflatable towing - great for families! Always check age and size restrictions with operators. Kids must be comfortable swimmers for most activities. Life vests are mandatory for children. Some operators offer family packages. Supervised activities in calm bays are safest for young children. Mykonos welcomes active families!

Q:What should I wear for water sports?

A: Wear swimwear as you'll get wet! For most activities, regular swimsuit is perfect. Rash guards or t-shirts recommended for sun protection during extended time on water. Windsurfing and kitesurfing might need wetsuits in shoulder season (provided by operators). Water shoes aren't essential on Mykonos' sandy beaches but help on rocky entries. Secure long hair to prevent tangles. Don't wear jewelry or watches (they might fall off). Sunglasses with straps are useful. Most importantly: apply waterproof sunscreen heavily - you'll burn faster on water! Operators provide any necessary safety gear like life vests.
