Kitesurfing Marmari (Kos)

South Aegean, Greece

Wind & Conditions

North-coast beach of Kos, positioned on the narrow strait between Kos and the islands of Kalymnos and Pseriamos 8 km to the north. The Meltemi funnels through this island gap, creating a jet effect that consistently adds 5–10 kt above the open-sea forecast, often pushing conditions to 6+ Beaufort (28+ kt) in July–August. Shallow, choppy water; strong side-onshore from the north-west. Best for intermediate-to-advanced riders; beginners should use the calmer south beach of the same name. Twin kite-centre operation with Mastichari beach, with free shuttle. Season June–September.
