The Swingin' Surf Rock Shindig - Episode 29 "WITW 15: Greece"

With nearly 10,000 miles of coastline and almost 6,000 islands and inlets (only 200 of which are inhabited), the un-initiated might expect Greece to have a bustling surf scene but the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean are too sheltered from wind and water exchange to produce consistent waves. That's not to say you can't catch the occasional ridable wave but you'll need a big break (no pun intended) If the surfing gods smile upon you (we're looking at you Poseidon) you might find yourself with a day or two of beautiful swells. Far more consistent is the fine surf music coming from the shores and mountains of Greece. The cradle of western civilization not only birthed democracy but some of the best surf bands in Europe.
