Nea Kios / Peloponnese kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Greece
Overview
Nea Kios is a spot just west of Nafplio, at the head of the Argolic Gulf. This small fishing port offers flat, protected water, with conditions similar to Nafplio — light thermal breeze wind and ultra-calm water.
Less touristy than Nafplio, Nea Kios offers a more local and authentic setting. The waterfront with its fish tavernas is a pleasant place after a session.
