Kitesurf school

Ion Club Karpathos

Part of the long-running international Ion Club network (14 centers worldwide, founded 1985). Its own material for the Karpathos location lists windsurf, wingfoil, SUP, diving, MTB, climbing and yoga, but not kitesurfing or kiteboarding lessons, so kite instruction here is unconfirmed even though the name comes up for the destination.
