Kefalos Windsurfing Centre

World-class Windsurfing in the Aegean

The island of Kos has long been known as a centre of excellence, with windsurfers travelling from around the globe to take advantage of the world-class windsurfing conditions. Tucked away on the southern tip of Kos, Kefalos is the westernmost town on the island 43 km from Kos Town and a 20-minute transfer from the airport. Our Beach Club here, on a huge sandy beach, is operated by long-established specialists ‘Kefalos Windsurfing’ who offer truly first class windsurfing equipment to suit all abilities from beginner to expert. A more recent development has been the introduction of foiling, with ideal conditions and the latest equipment.

The beachfront location is stunning, though the extensive range of top quality windsurfing and foiling equipment plus the idyllic windsurfing conditions in an uncrowded bay are the real highlights of this centre. Beach based windsurfing doesn’t get much better than this. With the more recent introduction of foiling you really have it all in one great location.

02 · Accommodation Plus

Perfect for windsurfers — and those who don’t.

Prices are based on two people sharing a room but, because we know couples often arrive where “one windsurfs and one doesn’t”, we structure on an Accommodation Plus basis. If you want the windsurfing package you pay extra; if not, you can simply hang out around the pool or on the beach. Larger rooms sleeping up to four are available for families and groups of friends.

Map of the location of Kefalos Windsurfing centre

Location

Kos is one of the most beautiful and largest islands in the Aegean (it is the third largest island in the Dodecanese after Rhodes and Karpathos and has the second highest population after Rhodes).

The village of Kefalos strung along the extensive sandy beach offers a good choice of restaurants, cafes and shops and is just a short stroll from our chosen hotel and the windsurfing centre. The wider area also offers great opportunities to explore, with archaeological sites such as the Asklepeion, the ancient home of Hippocrates the father of the medical profession, well worth a visit. The attractive capital of the island is perfect for a lively evening out and it is all within easy reach.

Sun Graphic

Weather

This area is blessed with warm sunshine over 300 days a year. Temperatures from early May range from the low to mid 20s in the early and late season, up to the mid to high 30s between  mid-June and August. The Meltemi winds are generally stronger from July to mid-September with afternoon winds from force 4 to force 6 almost every day. Even when breezes aren’t forecast, the geographically location of Kefalos Bay along with the thermal aspects means good afternoon breezes are highly likely.
