The centre Where to stay
Kefalos Windsurfing and Sailing Centre provides the
highest quality instruction from both RYA and VDWS
certified instructors. With such a range of languages
spoken by staff – from English to Italian, Greek to
German – there are no barriers. Kit rental is one of the
cheapest in Greece with a week’s tariff of standard
boards and sails in peak season costing only €245.
Top gear from North and Sailloft rigged on 75% carbon
masts, with 60 boards to choose from containing a
mixture of F2, Fanatic and Patrick, means there’s kit
for all conditions. Many hotels are located along the bay. Royal Bay is a
stunning 4-star hotel located directly next to the centre
and offers beautiful views across the water, a
restaurant, swimming pool and play area for the kids.
There are also many self-catering apartments up in the
village itself, and several supermarkets located in
Kefalos including Oasis and Jim’s – both of which
supply everything from fresh fruit and veg to daily
cooked pastries and even sunglasses and luggage
bags in case you have any airport disasters.
The centre also offers a V.I.P range for the speed
freaks out there; Sailloft Ultimate’s rigged on carbon
booms and 100% masts paired with Patrick’s slalom
and speed range, F2s and Fanatic Falcons, and a
range of fin sizes to choose from. Then there’s dual
hulled catamarans and RS Picos which are great for
getting kids onto the water.
SUP is also popular on light wind mornings. While
Tuesday and Thursday sees Lynn from Lynn Yann Yoga
bringing her highly trained skills for anybody keen to try
Yoga with a difference. Always very popular with the
ladies, but it’s also seen dads getting involved, who are
just as impressive. Even the staff are keen, as
manager Florian Ragossnig has shown beautifully.
Other activities include fishing, snorkelling and rock
jumping – only for the brave! The centre’s shop is fully
stocked with Kefalos Windsurfing tees, rash vests and
Mystic board shorts as well as other essentials.
