Marmari / Kos kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Marmari works with the onshore N/NNW Meltemi on the north coast of Kos. Shallow water over a large distance (similar to Tingaki) creates a safe riding area for learning. Onshore wind systematically brings riders back to the beach. Less crowded than Tingaki, offering more space. Some kite schools operate on this beach. Advanced riders sail further out in the chop. Works from June to September.

Turquoise Aegean Sea water, 22-26°C in summer. Lycra or 2mm shorty sufficient. Sandy bottom, very shallow water for the first 100-150 meters. Moderate chop further out, increasing with Meltemi strength. Weak to moderate current along the coast. Reassuring conditions for beginners thanks to shallow depth.

Free parking along the coastal road at Marmari. Easy access from the main Kos Town - Mastichari road. Dirt parking spaces by the beach. Less parking pressure than at Tingaki or Mastichari in high season.

Marmari receives the Meltemi from N/NNW directly on the north coast, onshore to side-onshore. Its position between Tingaki and Mastichari gives it a good wind strength compromise — windier than Tingaki thanks to increasing proximity to Kalymnos, without reaching Mastichari's extremes. Typical strength of 15-25 knots in summer. Steady wind with the classic cycle: building toward noon, peaking in afternoon, dropping in evening. Season from June to September, very reliable in July-August.
