Mastichari is the main kitesurfing spot on the north coast of Kos, facing Kalymnos island. This small fishing port benefits from direct exposure to the northern Meltemi with a Venturi effect between Kos and Kalymnos that accelerates the wind. The sandy beach west of the port offers shallow water over a large area, ideal for learning. One of the most reliable spots on Kos for wind.
Works with direct northern Meltemi. Riding area west of the port with shallow water for 50-100m, ideal for beginners. Watch for the Kalymnos ferry zone.
