And no worries, nothing has changed in Greece: service still sucks, nobody works, the sun shines and the food is good. :allbegood:

Yup, nothing has changed, people in Greece are still working more than people in any other European country (official statistics), service is good enough for tourists to flood the country for endless years now, the sun shines, food is good, wind is almost guaranteed, SBB's comments are inaccurate, nothing has changed.

Oh crap - I did not mean for my question to start a flame war about Greece!!! :argue:

Don't worry, I booked my flights to Kos last night, and I don't actually think I can buy the Cyclades for $100 - although that would be nice

However, what with this new information from oceansprince, I will be keeping a closer eye on my girlfriend while I am out there... :thumb:

Politics aside - I vaguely remember hearing that Kos was more of a windsurf site than kitesurf so maybe check. Rhodes is great so you might just want to be there the entire time. I have been there 3 times and never had a non-windy day and that is one of my favorite places. I'll be in Paros/Naxos in a couple weeks. have fun...

So now on to Kos itself - has anyone been to all of the spots on the island?

As far as I can tell there are 4 or 5 centres spread around the north and east coasts of the island - was thinking of booking a place for a couple of nights in Kos town and then renting a car / scooter to check out the spots and near by accommodation for what looks best.

Any guidance on the island would be appreciated!!

I don't recommend staying in Kos town, it's too turisty and crowded. Well.. except if you like that ;-)

. Mastichari has great, calm atmosphere, great apartements and excellent food. Recommend to rent a car as wind can be crappy and it's prudent to check different spots. Last year we did have some problems getting to the airport as TAXI and BUS drivers were on strike and idle taxi drivers were molesting people giving others a lift.

The Southern Mastichari kite center/spot is missing from Splocs. They have a good kite center with friendly people you can also ask for spot recommendations for different winds.

On strictly nothern wind go for salt lake spot (Tingaki on splocs) as it gets more wind. The best spot for beginners is probably Kohilari, not sure as I was on Kos for only 14 days.
