Samos Windsurfing (Kokkari)

37° 46.9′ N · 26° 53.3′ E · approximate

Kokkari sits in the path of the reliable summer northerlies, and its windsurf centre turns the onshore meltemi into a training ground for all levels.

Practical

Onshore conditions suit beginners through speed sailors; current boards and sails, theory and practical lessons led by Rob Horne; sun beds, bar/cafe and mountain-bike rental. No Kokkari-based dive centre could be confirmed - Greeka mentions dive operators having opened in Kokkari but lists none; the nearest confirmed dive centres are at Kerveli and Pythagorio. Position is the beach just west of Kokkari harbour (approx), derived from the Kokkari anchorage entry.
