| As a visitor in Kos, you will find splendid long seashores. Even in the town area, there are some beautiful beaches that can be easily reached by foot or by the town-bus, which connects the varius resorts. Lambi (Koubourna), towards Cape Skandari is the closest beach. Here you will find sea sports, tavernas, snack-bars and coffee-shops. To the east side, just 2km from the town center, there is an area with many hotels, and a camping site, named Psalidi (photo), with a nice beach along the road. Further down to the south you will meet the sandy beach of Cavo Fokas and on same road at 13km from the town, on an impressive landscape, lies the beach of Thermes. Here hot springs trickle over black sand into the sea, warming it upfor early or late season swims. On the eastern coast, at 12 km from the harbour, lies the village of Tigaki, a tourist center with fine sandy beach. Near Tigaki(in the photo) there is a fully functional saltwork and another fine beach and large hotel complexes at Marmari. At 30 km, near the airport and on the same coast, you will meet the small seaside hamlet of Mastihari and its cool and sandy beach. From here you can visit the idyllic islet of Pserimos, by boat. Kardamena, on the south part of Kos, at 26km of distance, is the island's second largest tourist resort with a long beach of white sand andcrystal clear shallow waters. Near the far southwest end of the island, close to the village of Kamari begins a beach that runs five kilometers east,virtually without interruption, passing the tiny Kastri islet and the remains of a fifth century basilica, at Ayios Stefanos, to the cliff-framed and aptly named Paradise beach. You may find photos of some of the locations mentioned here, in the photo album. | ||
