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.

Fabulous two weeks. Paradise on earth is my description of the Sunbeam

Ellen T

Sutton in Ashfield, United Kingdom
As always we spent a fantastic two weeks at Sunbeam hosted by Andreas and his family and staff. Rooms are basic and immaculately clean and have now been upgraded with air-conditioning and TV in each room .. though why anyone would want to watch TV in such a perfect location is beyond me. Sadly air con was not included in holiday price but was worth spending the extra euros to be comfortable during our stay. Just four steps down from the restaurant/bar area of the foyer and you are on the beach. Plenty of sunbeds available for free. Where the beach has become rocky someone has laid down sandbags to make it easier to get into the water, a good thing for anyone a little unsteady on their feet. Food and drinks are available all day and are excellent value for money .... meals portions are huge and delicious. Paradise on earth is my description of the Sunbeam and I hope to return in 2018 if my health allows.
Room Tip: 5 rooms each of 2 floors. Spiral stair access might be problem for some with walking difficulties. F...

Stayed: August 2017, travelled with family
Location 5/5
