Spot de Katakolo

Katakolo

Katakolo

Overview

Katakolo is a spot near the cruise port of Katakolo, on the west coast of the Peloponnese in Ilia. The port, a starting point for excursions to the archaeological site of Olympia, offers a partially protected bay with interesting conditions for kitesurfing in NW Maestro.

The Katakolo cape position creates semi-protected water to the south, with channeled wind and slightly different conditions than the open beaches further north.
