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.

Lovely apartment on the beach, you can fall asleep to the sound of waves. The kitchenette has a two ring hob, microwave and utensils - although we did not use them. The room had two single beds, tv and air con which is payable locally. The rooms also have a good hair dryer!

All rooms have a sea view, and there is ample free sunbeds in front of the property. Andreas and his family were lovely and always took an interest in our plans for the day. The food is also good in the snack bar.

We would have no hesitations about booking this apartment again.

We only went to Sunbeam for dinner, because it was recommended to us by several couples. Very friendly owner who speaks german and english! We went there two times, and all the food we tried was really good , it was fresh and the prices were good!
Would always go there again.
