Visitor reviews of Lakouvardos or Lagkouvardos surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“A challenging surf spot, full of close outs and drops. Everything has to be spot on with your technique on larger waves or else you'll wipe out. Very unforgiving. This has been one of the most challenging surf spots I have visited so far not just in Greece but in Europe. Swells are rather consistent.”
