Kos is an increasingly popular destination for those who want to spend their holidays on a Greek island, and offers various accommodation opportunities, spread over various areas.
There are villages that maintain a certain tradition, where there are family-run establishments, ready to welcome you in relaxation and greenery, and at the same time there are towns at the centre of an intense nightlife, which in high season fill up with numerous tourists.
The beaches in the various resorts of Kos can be more or less well-equipped, while from the various harbours there are daily connections to smaller islands that can be reached by small boats. For this reason, Kos can really adapt to the needs of everyone, from those looking for an adventure holiday to those seeking maximum comfort.
Below you will find a series of tips on where to stay on Kos, to simplify your choice according to the type of holiday you have in mind.
Kos Town, the capital and main port of Kos, is located in the north-eastern part of the island. The town is a unique combination of tradition and modernity, and choosing it as a base for your holiday is suitable for those seeking a beach holiday alternating with excursions and visits to the cultural centres the island offers.
Kos Town is full of restaurants, bars and shops, and the hotel facilities are of various levels. Accommodation ranges from charming boutique hotels in the old town to business hotels near the harbour to modern facilities along the Lambi coastline. The efficient public transport network provides easy access to all locations on the island, while the varied nightlife caters to every need, from stylish cocktail bars to beachside discos.
Lambi is Kos Town’s most sophisticated and modern seaside district, developed along a sandy beach stretching over 2 kilometres north of the centre. This area combines urban convenience with direct access to the sea, offering high-end tourist facilities surrounded by manicured gardens and elegant pedestrian areas.
Lambi beach, characterised by fine sand and clear waters, is equipped with modern bathing establishments, trendy beach bars and water sports centres. The area is particularly popular with couples and families seeking a perfect compromise between seaside relaxation and urban amenities. The pedestrian promenade offers a scenic promenade dotted with cafes, restaurants and quality shops.
The proximity to the centre of Kos Town makes it possible to reach the main cultural attractions on foot.
Located 30 kilometres away from the capital, Kardamena is the second most popular destination on Kos. It offers a wide selection of activities, accommodation and bars. Not far away there are also historical sites, ideal destinations for those who want to alternate days at the beach with excursions.
The strategic location of Kardamena, right in the centre of the island, makes it the perfect base for exploring all the attractions of Kos: the airport is only 7 kilometres away, the most beautiful beaches of the Kefalos peninsula are a 15-minute drive away and Kos Town is half an hour away. The marina offers day trips to Nisyros and the smaller islands of the Dodecanese.
Kardamena’s seafront comes alive every evening with bars, pubs and discos offering entertainment until dawn, while during the day the long sandy beach becomes the realm of water sports: windsurfing, kitesurfing, water-skiing and paragliding are possible thanks to the constant presence of the meltemi. Accommodation facilities range from budget hotels for young people to all-inclusive resorts for families.
Kefalos, at the south-western end of the island, offers the most authentic experience and the most spectacular sea on Kos. This traditional village, perched on a scenic hilltop 200 metres above sea level, perfectly preserves Cycladic architecture with white houses, cobbled alleys and Byzantine churches overlooking a landscape of rare beauty.
Kamari Bay, at the foot of the village, is home to what many consider to be the most beautiful beach on the island: an expanse of golden sand protected from the winds, washed by turquoise waters of exceptional transparency. The area offers sustainable tourism and lower prices than other resorts, while maintaining a family atmosphere with traditional tavernas run by local families serving fresh fish and regional specialities.
Accommodation in Kefalos emphasises contact with nature and authenticity: holiday homes surrounded by olive groves, family hotels with panoramic terraces and locally run flats. The area is ideal for those seeking tranquillity, unspoilt beaches and low costs, but requires a means of transport for travel to other locations on the island.
Tigaki, on the northern coast 10 kilometres from Kos Town, is the ultimate family beach destination. This resort, developed specifically to accommodate holiday resorts and hotels, offers a long sandy beach with shallow waters and facilities for children.
Tigaki beach, over 3 kilometres long, is characterised by fine, golden sand and a gradual seabed that makes it safe for children. The seafront hosts beach bars, family tavernas and water sports centres, while inland is the Lido Water Park, the island’s largest water park with slides, pools and attractions for all ages.
Mastichari, a small fishing village on the north-western coast, maintains an authentic and peaceful atmosphere while offering modern tourist facilities. Located 20 kilometres from Kos Town, this village retains its traditional character with its small harbour where local fishing boats still dock and from where ferries to Kalymnos depart.
The beach of Mastichari is distinguished by its fine white sand and crystal-clear waters that are sheltered from the winds, making it ideal for families with small children and those seeking tranquillity. The village offers traditional taverns serving freshly caught fish and local specialities prepared according to family recipes handed down through generations.
