    The Western end of this beach seems to be a bit of a hidden gem - at least with the fabulous crowd;)
    Tigaki beach turns more nudist and more gay the further West you go. From about the middle of the salt lake onwards, it's almost exclusively frequented by naked men. The sand is mostly clean and the water flawless. Lovely place for a swim - and/or fun in the dunes.
    Enjoy.

    We visited Agios Stefanos beach twice in Oct 2023 despite staying near Kos town we liked it enough that we visited a second time. This was my favourite beach on Kos. The ruins are worth seeing and the beach itself is clean and easy to access. There are plenty of sunbeds on the beach but there is also plenty of clear sand if you don't want to pay for a sunbed. Kastri Islet is interesting and easy to swim to although I couldn't see a way to reach the top of the highest part of the rocky outcrop (and I suspect there were birds up there that are best left undisturbed). On our second visit we did some snorkelling and found there was a reasonable amount to see. The water was calm and clear and a good temperature.

    We were very fortunate in having an excellent guide who made the history fascinating and humorous. The 3 d tablet enabling you to visualise what may have been was a real bonus. One thing puzzled me.. was it bad design in making so many steps for sick people or was there a reason.?

    Was recommended this place and was impressed. The walk down is lovely and scenic, with views all around, but it’s very steep going down and certainly very steep walking back up to the car park! The walk is around 30 mins down to the thermal pool, but it’s worth it. Make sure to take suncream as it’s very warm and sunny! The thermal pool is amazing, it’s so warm, like a really hot bath, made my skin feel amazing too! Take flip flops if you can because getting down into the thermal pool is very rough and stony.
    Well worth a visit, for something different if you’re in Greece!

    Try the goats milk fresh icecream on the corner of the square. Wonderful location with eash access to the whole of Kos town. My daughter didn’t want to leave as she could run everywhere. Beautiful square in Kos

    Excellent sandy naturist/nudist/FKK beach. Soft sand. Easy access to sea but recommend wearing foot ware as underwear rock can be slippy.

    Water very clean. Sun Ed’s and shade available.

    Unfortunately spoilt by not having facilities on hand and only one Tsverna some 600m up the hill towards the main road. Take your own drink and food or drive up the hill to Magic Cafe.

    So many peacocks! It was like a magical forest. Loved it.

    It is a forest though, and it is great to wander around with the peacocks as there are loads. See if you can find the white one. Don't expect a tourist spot with gift shop as some did!

    Mother and Daughter visit, booked through Jet 2 Holidays, the Beach is about 40 minutes away from Kos Town, with stunning views and plenty to do for adults and children.

    Paradise Beach is a massive stretch which has loads of sun loungers and three or four stations across the beach which have the opportunity for you to use the Jet Ski's, Banana Boats, Fly Fish and many other activities (prices apply).

    The beach consists of white soft sand and you can also go snorkelling and swimming whilst enjoying stunning views in the background.

    Whilst there, I went on the Jet Ski, it was 45 Euros for 20 minutes which was £39 in GBP. There's space for you to travel on the Jet Ski's with instructors that fully prep you before you enjoy your mini adventure riding the waves.

    The sun loungers are priced at two for 13 Euros, where we pitched there was a bar and toilet, I did think the bar was a bit expensive for the amount of drinks you got. I got a Sex on the Beach Cocktail which was 9 Euros which came in a small slush cup and the alcohol content wasn't very strong either.

    Whilst on the Jet Ski's, you have to stay a minimum of 200 meters away from other vehicles on the water, I found that one of the other instructors who was pulling a dinghy came too close to me but stopped the boat and was waving his arms complaining about the distance, (even though there was a massive amount of space for him to go, but yet decided to drive the boat near the buoys where our station was situated), so maybe the area where the different activity stations are situated need to be reviewed.

    Apart from that, the day was great and we relaxed the whole time we were there. I would highly recommend for families or individuals.

    What a hidden gem - perfect place to watch the sunset and if you want to have a drink on the beach they will serve you a bottle of bubbly to take down to the beach with glasses 🥂

    NB wear suitable shoes for some very steep pathways and slippery stone. Take water because there are no shops. Absolutely beautiful place. Phenomenal that it was built and staffed all the way up there! Part destroyed in earthquake, rebuilt by Knights of St John. Now a herd of goats with bells clamber up and down. A lovely afternoon spent there, and there is a cafe right at the top 😃
    Breathtaking views

    The park is small but serves a purpose. It has just 8 slides, a wave poop & lazy river that are all worth experiencing as well as a normal swimming pool and small children’s water play park. Very clean, plenty of loungers. We didn’t stay long enough for lunch but there looked to be a queue with a daft system of table service only rather than fast food. We arrived at 0950 (opens at 10am) with a small queue outside. Top tip, get all of the rubber ring slides over with first as the queues build for these later, however we never had to queue for the non ring slides. We stayed until 2pm which was plenty of time to do everything we wanted. We also hired a car for the day (€75) and used it to explore in the afternoon / evening, this saved us having to do the early coach pick up and extra long journey time stopping at all the hotels re pick up. Also we weren’t tied to a dictated departure time. Lockers were €5 but you received €2 back on departure so not expensive. Don’t visit if you’re expecting one of the stereotypical large all singing all dancing large water parks, but this was worth a morning out.
