Unique little beach. Some roman ruins to wander around with some amazing photo opportunities. The beach is lovely not to busy and if you like swimming can swim to a small island which nobody lives on, climb the rocks and explore but take sea shoes as is quite rocky.

Old Byzantine fortress located in the old village of Pili, it is amazing and beautiful, one of the most beautiful places on the island.

Still a nice place for a (steep) walk under the trees. Abandoned old churches. Fantastic views from the top of the hill adjacent to the café. Free parking. Definitely recommend water and strong shoes.

As you pass through agios theologos you pass an amazing restaurant where after a hard day at the beach you can enjoy brilliant food and even watch the sunset too.
Pass the restaurant and follow the sandy road down to the diamond beach there you will find yiannis at his man Friday beach. Paradise. A joy to visit. Plenty of sunbeds umbrellas. Sea very clear and clean . No stones seaweed etc. Can be wavy but good fun for all ages.

We went to paradise beach first but it was so crowded so we drove back to Lagada Beach. It was perfect-very quiet and 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for 7€. Definitely worth visiting.

This beach is located just before the road that climbs up to Kefalos. Unlike many Kos Beaches that are overloaded with beach umbrellas and countless loungers, this is a laid back location with relatively few people. The water is calm and the sand is soft. The nearby taverna that we looked at and ate in were nothing special but we had a pleasing swim in the sea.

A lovely beach with crystal clear waters. But caution as there is more than one road. We followed google maps shortest route - Wrong! Don't turn off from Kefalos until you see a sign to Cavo paradiso. We made a mistake and although finally got there in our fiat rental it was very very rough! The way back following the signed road was easy. Worth the trip but take the correct road!

Best place in Kos for souvlaki! Great food. The staff here are extremely attentive and so so friendly. The menu offers a great variety of both traditional Greek food and other foods like pasta, pizza etc. Fourth time in Kos and this year was the first visit to Papa's but it definitely won't be my last. Amazing amazing amazing!

You will need a car or bike to get here as it is not close to any where or bus stops.
That said its a lovely way to spend a few hours feeding the Peacocks and cats.
You also have Terrapins in the small stream too. They are all very friendly and will feed out your hands.
You will also find Petros who looks after the birds every day taking food and collecting money for them.
Worth a visits , kids will love it.

My favourite square in town, nice place to stroll, to visit the municipal museum, but I'm so unhappy that the earthquake of July 2017 has destructed the elegant tower of the moschee and the small jewellery shop and the Fountain before is in a bad condition;
Hope that all this povery shoud be reconstruct.
