About this spot
Kitesurfing Kos documents a Golden Beach / Alikes kite station about 400–500 m east of Caravia Beach Hotel — deliberately separated from the windsurf and sailing station immediately in front of the hotel — on a north-westerly Meltemi that the operator says is accelerated between the offshore islands, with a sandy beach, school storage and a rescue boat. Its own pages give both a 400 m and a 500 m offset, and one page calls this the “west coast”, a loose description that should not be used to infer the wind angle.
Spotnetz describes Marmari more broadly as onshore and choppy rather than a flat lagoon, and no standing-depth extent is published for this station, so the beginner flag is withheld. Reef, sea urchins, current, turtles and any protected-wetland launch rules around the neighbouring Alykes lake are not documented in the cited descriptions; the offset, the launch boundaries and current rescue arrangements need confirmation with the school.

Needs local verification: Coordinate: Destination marker from the school's own map link; an operator pin, not a surveyed launch boundary. 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
