Alternative Sports to Surfing in Greece

We are about to visit Crete, Santorini and Mykonos in August. We know the Mediterranean isn't ideal for surfing, but we would love to do some water sports while we are in Greece. We love body surfing so if there is anything relevant that would be great.

Although Greece has some beaches for surfing, we fully understand that the waves are not as fascinating as in other places around the world. However, if you want to find an alternative to surfing while you are in Greece, there are plenty of summer water activities that you can enjoy.

For example, on most Greek islands you can find private and semi-private SUP (stand up paddleboarding) lessons, an offshoot of surfing that originated in Hawaii. Apart from SUP, many beaches have organized clubs that offer windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons for beginners and experienced surfers. You can even try water sports like jet skiing and water skiing. The possibilities are simply endless.
