Ploutarhos Drakopoulos

I had an hour and a half with Pluto at Rene Egli at the Melia Hotel in Sotavento. I have had lessons in the past and in fact had a seperate lesson with a competitor kite school at the other side of the Lagoon the day after the one at Rene Egli. The experience was like two opposites, with Rene Egli way ahead in terms of kiter safety!! Its a great school in a great location with a great team both at the school and at the Shop. Pluto was my instructor for the session and he was very knowledgable, easy going, approachable and most importantly he took Kite Safety seriously and made me fully aware of the potential dangers of the sport. I cant wait to get back for my next lesson!

So, I can only say: Plouto is a great teacher. It was damn much fun and we learned a lot in this short time. I hope to see you again soon. The entire team is also great, cordial and helpful. We will definitely come back 👍🏼 The huge selection of equipment was neatly maintained and there was something for every size. Thank you for this wonderful time.

René Egli ist eine gute auf Sicherheit bedachte schule, die Lage mit breiten Sandstrand optimal, das Material top modern und in neuwertigem Zustand, mit jetskis und speziellen Beobachtern wird der schulbetrieb professionell überwacht

Ploutarchos has been a professional . Good teaching skills and the right discipline in order to be able to comprehend what the sport is all about . He can provide really good bases and knowledge to help you move onwards. I would highly recommend him.

The instructors did all in their power to teach in safe conditions. The Sotavento lagoon was perfect for first steps. Everything was good: the instructors, the equipment, the attention they all give to all students. Even if the wind is not perfect in the area, learning there is a great experiance.

I could really recommend this spot & professional Kite Center. Personally I really enjoyed the course here, where I learned how to Kite surf as a beginner and managed to surf on my 3rd day! There are many instructors and actually got a different one every time to get different perspectives and tips! The material is very updated and varied, I even had 1 lesson with 4 different kites (different meters) to make the most out of the course. Staff is very flexible and booking 2 days in advance is suggested for availability. The Kite center is next to 2 hotels on walking distance and a very large beach, including a lagoon, where you can practice a lot in a secure environment. As there are many kite surfers around you can also see how they do it and learn from that too as its a hotspot with still a lot of space! Very cool there is a shop nearby also where you can by hardware and accessories for Kite surfing, like shades, wetsuits, boards etc. Enough material and courses available for learning or just improving your kite surfing skills!

I could not have a better teacher with more love and passion for kiting. The most important rule to be safe and to know how to set up your kite and respect your kite. Then all the rest Will come naturally. Just an amazing philosophy.

The kite spot of Paros is fantastic - wide , uncluttered, warm and very very safe. The instructor - Plouto was extremely helpful and careful - I was able to achieve in a couple of hours what I was trying for many hours at other locations. The material which the school offers is very very good - brand new Core kites for learning:) The school itself is very busy with back to back hours and I think everyone would benefit in case they hire a couple of helpers to manage the equipment if they want to have billable hours from the morning until the evening.

Great experience! I would recommend to everyone
