Kitesurfing Psalidi (Kos)
South Aegean, Greece
Wind & Conditions
Windiest beach on Kos, located on the north-east coast 3 km east of Kos Town. The Meltemi arrives from the north-west, slightly side-offshore from the left, generating choppy to moderate swell; an 11–12 m kite is the daily workhorse with a 9 m on strong days. Wind builds around noon and holds until sunset (80–90% reliability June–August). Choppy conditions and significant wave height mean this is an intermediate-to-advanced spot. Several kite schools operate on the beach. Season June–September.
