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 on the Beach: Brilliant views, lovely host, great holiday!


Fantastic views over the Aegean and on the beach, what more do you need from a holiday apartment... Our room was clean and big enough for the two of us, although the bathroom was a tad on the small side. Andreas is a lovely host, he made us feel so welcome, he must be doing something right as most of the people we spoke to were repeat visitors (many many times!). Perfectly placed for our nightly stroll into Kardamena village and it's vast array of restaurants and bars.
A great holiday!
Room Tip: all rooms have a balcony with sea view
  • Stayed: June 2018, travelled as a couple
