Kitesurfing in
ItalyEASIEST FLAT WATER IN EUROPE
EU · no visa, no jetlag
Italy's kitesurfing ace is a lagoon, not a beach: Lo Stagnone in western Sicily, twenty square kilometres of nature reserve where the water stays knee-deep for hundreds of metres and the airport is six minutes away. It is the reason half of Europe learns to kite here — you can stand up, anywhere, at any moment — and why the shore carries the densest concentration of kite schools on the continent, from brand flagships to one-van operations. The salt pans, Marsala and the ferry to Favignana keep everyone else busy.
