The beaches along the north coast are blessed with consistent winds suitable for windsurfing, and Ftelia is the island's center for the sport. Yet on calm days Panormos and Ayios Sostis are worth a trip; both offer beautiful beach vistas without the crowds. If you are looking for uncrowded beaches (even in the busy summer season), these are your best bets.
