# Marmari Beach

Kitesurfing spot in Kos, Greece.

> Marmari stretches along Kos' northern coast with a long sandy beach offering side-shore meltemi winds over shallow, protected water. The orientation and depth make it one of the Dodecanese's most approachable spots for learners, with schools well-established and easy water access. Side-shore winds allow confident progression without heavy shore dump. The beach remains popular during high season but retains enough space for varied skill levels. Summer conditions are most reliable, with lighter winds in shoulder months.
