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: You can now change your reservation...

Kardamena harbour from SunBeam, May 2020
Dear friends - our Quests, the situation that has been created in the field of tourism due to the Cov-19 is unprecedented. All tourism businesses face major financial problems.
All tourism businesses face major financial problems. 

Especially ours, which was hit hard last year by the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook and we lost 50% of our expected revenue. 
 Despite this, we hosted all our customers without burdening them and provided services knowing that we would not be paid. 
We considered it our duty to our dear quests who show us every year   their love, with their preference in SunBeam. 
May 2020
Reservations for May, June and maybe July, have now been canceled. 
For all these reservations you can transfer them in the summer of 2021 or this year  when there are flights to Kos.  
Unfortunately, the lack of financial capacity does not allow us to repay deposits, but we will replace the Vouchers we have issued with new ones according to the choices of our quests. 
Thank you for your understanding. We hope everything returns to normal soon. 
Until then, take care, stay safe and be healthy
the SunBeam team...
