Kardamena (Greek: Καρδάμενα), is a small Greek village 7 km from Kos Island International Airport at Antimachia, situated mid-way along the south coast of the island of Kos. Once a small fishing village, it has emerged as one of the most popular summer destinations, especially for British tourists, over the past two decades, offering scores of pubs and restaurants, bars and night clubs and water sports facilities. It reported a population of 1,783 inhabitants at the 2001 census and has a land area of 35.150 km².

Kardamaina is built on the site of the ancient settlement of Alasarna. During the 2nd century BC, Alasarna was an important urban center with one thousand citizens, to whom the slaves and the metics should be added.

The archaeological excavations have brought to light some impressive ruins. A Temple of Apollo, an extensive Early Christian settlement (from the very few known in Greece), as well as four basilicas that belong to the same period. Also many stone objects of everyday use (millstones, tools, vases, vessels, etc.), mostly made of volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been recovered so far.

SunBeam Apart Hotel: "Best Holiday Ever!"



(user rating)
Date of Holiday: Jul 2010
Ive just returned from a week staying in the sunbeam in kardamena and i really cant fault a thing. The people there are all lovely and will always help out if you need it! The appartments go straight onto the beach, which have a section of sunbeds which are free if you are customers of the sunbeam.There is no pool, but it really isnt needed with the sea that close, but all the hotels around allow you to use theirs if you aren't a fan of the beach. There is no aircon there, but with the breeze of the sea we really didnt need it. Bar street is about a 10 minute walk away with lots of restaurants on the way down, which are all really cheap :) I would definately return to the Sunbeam appartments again. The maid comes in every day to empty the rubbish and every other day to clean. It is perfect if you just need a place to stay after a heavy night drinking.
