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
emgems2012
5/5
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.

SunBeam, the perfect place to chill out...
We didn't stay at the apartments but spent every day of our two week holiday both in the bar restraunt and outside on the lovely beach. It's the perfect place to chill out as Andreas and his family are some of the friendliest hosts we have ever met. The food and drinks are superb with a range of home cooked meals which are delicious. The service is brilliant as nothing is too much trouble.
People we talked to come back here year after year and this is no surprise as it is idyllic
Thanks Andreas.https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g659630-d1226419-r523634799-Sunbeam_Apart_Hotel-Kardamena_Kos_Dodecanese_South_Aegean.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT

“Fantastic little hotel! ”
Andreas the owner was lovely and welcoming. Rooms are cleaned frequently and a nice size. The view from our balcony was beautiful. Food was amazing and priced well. There is a small beach sectioned off at the front of the hotel which is lovely - It was being cleaned and renewed when we were there so looks even nicer than before. Definitely would recommend Sunbeam, hard to find such a good view from a hotel balcony and cannot be closer to the beach front!
