Kiteboarders flock to Greek coast as August gales churn sea

Strong August winds swept across Greece's eastern coastline near Athens on Thursday, drawing dozens of kitesurfers, who performed impressive aerials against a cloudless sky. With gusts reaching up to 60 kilometers per hour (37 miles per hour), the beach at Agios Nikolaos — a rugged strip east of the Greek capital, near the port of Rafina — transformed into an open-air playground for wind sports enthusiasts chasing the seasonal “meltemi” winds.
