Kefalos is the most renowned kitesurfing spot on Kos, located at the southwestern tip of the island in the Dodecanese. This long south-facing bay benefits from the Meltemi wind wrapping around the western point of the island, creating ideal cross-shore to side-onshore conditions. The sandy beach stretches for several hundred meters with turquoise shallow water for the first few meters. The spot works primarily from June to September when the Meltemi blows consistently between 15 and 30 knots.

The Meltemi wraps around the western tip of Kos and arrives cross-shore from NW/W on this south-facing bay. The Venturi effect between Kos and Kalymnos strengthens wind to 20-30 knots in the afternoon. Wind picks up around 11am-noon, peaks between 2pm and 6pm, then weakens in the evening. Main season from June to September.
