About this spot
Kitesurfing Kos documents Kohilari as an open sandy launch north of Kefalos, worked by its mobile kite centre with VDWS instructors and a shuttle, describing waves with flatter sections between them and emphasising experienced riders, waves and freestyle. Kiteguide supports a north-west/north-north-westerly Meltemi of roughly 15–25 knots in July–August, strengthening around midday, with June–August strongest and May and September less reliable, and describes a shallow strip of 15–20 m; SurfinGR instead reports the first 50 m shallow, rocks in the water, beachbreak and a separate swimming area.
The two depth accounts contradict each other and neither establishes a consistently walkable training lagoon, and Kiteguide's beginner marketing sits against the operator's own experienced-rider emphasis — so the beginner flag is withheld and the wave, rock and swimming-area hazards are stated from the guides rather than surveyed. The coordinate is the destination marker in the school's own map link; other references to a “Kohilari kite school” should not be read as a separate currently operating business.

Needs local verification: Coordinate: Destination marker from the school's own map link; an operator pin, not a surveyed launch point. Coordinates are approximate spot markers, not surveyed launch points. Wind safety and operating limits remain unknown; no ride or kite-size advice is issued. Sources confirm only the facts explicitly attributed to them.
Local hazards
- Hazards have not been surveyed — absence of a documented hazard list does not imply safety
