It only takes a day or two before you feel like you already know the friendly and hospitable people of Kos. The little fishing village of Mastichari is home to our kite spot and has a real local feel away from the mass tourism prevalent in other parts of the island.
Kos is one of the only Greek islands where the conditions are great for both beginners as well as advanced kiters. Our VDWS licensed school sits on a wide sandy beach operated by Stefan, originally from Austria, who has spent his lifetime on the water. His team have developed their lesson structure to ensure a high level of safety with a maximum of two students per instructor. Using a unique coaching system via boat, they offer fast progression on the water as well as a lot of fun.
Our Kite House is conveniently located just a few minutes from the kite spot and town so you can easily walk everywhere. The house has 8 separate studios, each with its own balcony giving you your own private space. Group bonding starts over breakfast in the Aplo restaurant before heading to the beach for a day of kiting, and often ends with a drink or two at the beach bar too.
Our location is perfect for children to play on the wide sandy beach right in front of the kite spot, and our centre also offers windsurfing or stand up paddle lessons for them.
The wind season is longer than you might imagine and runs all the way from May until the end of October. The weather remains warm and sunny throughout the whole season, perfect to sit out on the terraces of the local Greek tavernas enjoying the delicious food on offer. As for all of our destinations, we have our own KiteWorldWide guide on-site happy to show you the best restaurants, kite spots and other sights in Mastichari.
Cheap flights depart several days per week. The Kite House is just a short 20-minute transfer from the airport.

Stefan, Center Manager
"The hospitality on Kos, the traditional flair in Mastichari and the different kite spots make the island so special for me. Whether it's a freestyle session, wave kiting or a round on the wing foil, everyone will have fun on the water here on Kos. And at the end of a long kite day, I look forward to a cold sunset beer on the beach with friends."
Kitespots & Kiteschool
The kitesurf spot in Mastichari is on the island of Kos and is perfect for beginners due to the constant wind and calm sea, where we offer unique lessons from a boat. The spot is located directly on a wide sandy beach with exclusive access to a 400-meter launch area.
For intermediate and advanced kiters you have a lot of space to enjoy your freedom on the water to progress or learn new tricks. We even run a water taxi service when the wind is onshore to save you body dragging out to start your session.
If there’s no wind in Mastichari, we can organise day trips to different spots for you and your friends and family.
All levels
KITESURFING IN MARMARI

Mastichari is a small, uncrowded Greek fishing village with several accommodation options for every taste and budget. Here you will find small, traditional privately run ‘pensions’ or apartments that contrast strongly with the huge hotel resorts in Kos town, Marmari or around the island. Our accommodation is a beautiful family-run hotel situated on the outskirts of the traditional village.
The KiteWorldWide House consists of eight studios, together with a communal terrace for evening barbecues, or simply relaxing after long sessions on the water. All studios are air-conditioned, have their own balcony or terrace, as well as a simple bathroom and kitchenette.
The studios in the newly renovated KWW Kite House Mastichari are not even 10 minutes (walking distance) away from the kiteschool. The studios are similarly equipped with a private balcony or terrace, an own bathroom, a small kitchenette, fridge, sink, dishes and air conditioning. The rooms are cleaned every day (except Sunday), towels and bed linen are provided and changed on request.
For families and people who are looking a little bit more space we offer the Elia Mare Apartment. The apartment is just 200m from the kite centre and is modernly furnished with two bedrooms, a spacious living room and air conditioning throughout.
Both of the two balconies have sea views as well as a fully equipped luxury kitchen. In the living room you’ll find a flat-screen TV, although you’ll be more likely want to enjoy the views!
Caravia Beach Hotel is the perfect place for the whole family. Not only is the hotel beautiful and modern, but it also offers everything you need to really relax on holiday and makes sure that the younger guests have a great time too!
There is a lovely restaurant, fitness, pool area and even a tennis court! The hotel also has its own beach, which is only 200m away.
For children, there is also an adventurous pool area with a pirate ship, a playground and much more!
