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.

Just arrived back from a FANTASTIC 2 weeks at the sunbeam hotel [12/07/2012-26/07 2012]. I did not arrive until the early hours of the morning 2.30 am , room as you would expect in greece very basic but clean .I was very surprised at the size of the room as i was a single traveller, i got room 21 which is on the second floor a large room and a Brilliant sea view, has a largish balcony enough space for you to chill out with a beer or two.only down side is there is no air con but you can hire a fan .The location of the hotel is perfect right on the beach and free sunbeds. when i made my way down to reception on my firts day i was met by Andreas who welcomed me to the sunbeam offererd me coffee and i cannot praise andeas and his family enough as they made me feel so welcome from day one[just as if i was on old friend visiting again]The food is of a Fantastic quality, i ate there most days and nights, As i have been to kardamena a few times i knew of some of the restaurants to go to eg pelagos,posidonia,yiannis,captains, and the avli.Just felt that i had the best on my doorstep.The rooms were kept clean on a daily basis and the cleaner[who i wished i had asked her name]was brilliant at her job nothing was to much trouble for her eg shower broke tuesday morn by tuesday lunch she had had it fixed.The way i was treated by all at the sunbeam made my stay FANTASIC . I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT I WOULD RECOMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE OF ANY AGE.All in all i had a Fantasic in kardamena and a lot of this goes down to Andreas and his family and staff , I will be back next year .
