Korfos Bay
Greece · Égée-Méridionale
Korfos Bay, located 2.5 km from Mykonos Town in the southwest of the island, is a popular spot for kitesurfing enthusiasts. Its concave shape and north orientation make it a perfect place to catch the consistent wind. The beach is generally calm, away from the crowds of nearby tourist beaches like Ornos.
The shallow waters particularly attract beginners, while more experienced riders enjoy the chop for freestyle or small jumps. A fisherman sometimes sets his nets at the end of the day, but the spot remains deserted most of the time.
Close to the airport, it offers easy access for travelers, with an authentic and less touristy atmosphere.

The Korfos Bay spot offers mainly side-onshore or onshore wind coming from the north due to the Meltemi, which establishes itself mainly in the afternoon. The launch is done on a sandy beach with designated areas for takeoff and landing, avoiding the rocky parts on the sides. The waters close to the shore are flat and shallow, ideal for waterstarts and freestyle, while offshore the chop becomes moderate, perfect for jumps or small rides in light waves.
The bay is narrow, so the trajectories remain short, which is well-suited for freeride, wakestyle, or hydrofoil. Be cautious of gusts on windy days, which can make navigation more technical, especially for novices. No organized downwinders, but advanced riders can aim for Panormos with several back-and-forths if the gear is reliable.
