  We present the methods and first results of the search for galaxy clusters in
the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). The adopted algorithm and the criterium for
selecting the member galaxies are illustrated. Here we report the preliminary
results obtained over a small area (7 sq. degrees), and the comparison of our
cluster candidates with those found in the RedMapper and SZ Planck catalogues;
the analysis to a larger area (148 sq. degrees) is currently in progress. By
the KiDS cluster search, we expect to increase the completeness of the clusters
catalogue to z = 0.6-0.7 compared to RedMapper.
