Kohilari occupies a sheltered bay on Kos' southern coast near Kefalos, where cross-offshore meltemi winds meet flatter water conditions. The bay's orientation and depth create predictable, manageable conditions popular with both kiters and windsurfers. A dedicated water-sports centre operates from the beach, offering instruction and gear services. The south-coast location provides some shelter from larger Atlantic swells that affect the northern shores. Best conditions occur during summer peak wind season, with autumn remaining viable.
