Ioannis Port

Ioannis Port is a surf spot located in Aegean Coast, Greece. This spot is known for its fast and strong waves, making it a regional classic for surfers. The waves break both left and right, providing options for intermediate surfers. The sea bottom consists of sand and rocks, so it’s important to be cautious as hidden rocks near the beach can pose a risk to your board. Ioannis Port works best with strong north-northeast winds of 7+ Beaufort or more, and it is more active during the winter months. In the summer, the spot rarely works, but when it does, it remains uncrowded with only a few surfers present. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the spot is generally empty, providing a peaceful surfing experience. To reach Ioannis Port, travel from Volos city to Agios Ioannis village via Pelion mountain, choosing either the route through Hania or Argalasti village, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The surf spot is located next to the harbor of Agios Ioannis, just 50 meters from the beach, in front of the Poseidon taverna. Before heading out, check the surf forecast and report for the latest conditions. Respect the locals and remember to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Always assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Enjoy the unique experience of surfing at Ioannis Port while taking in the beautiful surroundings of the Aegean Coast.
