Limnos
Island

Limnos

Limnos is a Greek island located in the northern part of the Aegean Sea. It can be reached by ferry from the city of Kavala in 3-5 hours.

The ferry docks in Myrina, the capital of the island, from where it takes about 20 minutes to reach the Board Academy base located in Lihna Bay.

Bay

Lychna

Lychna is a closed inland bay located in the middle of the island of Limnos.

The conditions in the bay are extremely good for beginner surfers, especially children, and all kinds of other activities. The water is crystal clear and knee-deep almost all year round for 50m into the sea. At low tide even more shallow. 

The wind in the bay is offshore and there is no outlet to the open sea, making it very safe for surfers and vessels.

It is where our base is located, where the children spend most of their time.

Another advantage is that there are no other surf bases or infrastructures in the bay that would disturb the peace and daily activities of the children.

Promoting Healthy Eating Habits

Promoting Healthy Eating Habits

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided for the children, prepared in our kitchen by a chef.

At Boardacademy, we are dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle and dietary choices throughout the children's stay. Our in-house chef uses organic vegetables sourced directly from the island's farmers, while our bread, cheese, and milk products are sourced from the local bakery, ensuring a commitment to quality and freshness. Our team actively discourages the consumption of junk food, such as conventional Coke products, candies, or chips. Our aim is to provide a diverse and nutritious food regimen, while taking every kid‘с dietary needs and preferences in account.
