Tucked away along the south coast of Kos, the former fishing village of Kardamena is a perfect place in which to get in some serious rest and relaxation.

Guests of the Kalimera Kos Hotel can begin their holiday by walking to the near by beach while those looking for some excitement can take part in such water sports as waterskiing, jet skiing and windsurfing.

The Kardamena village center is only about a 10 minute drive from the Kalimera Kos Hotel and is home to several restaurants, bars and night clubs.

Attractions which are within easy reach of Kardamena include a Temple of Apollo, Helona (turtle) beach, Andimahia's Castle and the Waterpark in Mastichari.

A 14th century fortress, the Neratzia Castle, the Church of St. John the Baptist and Casa Romana are among the many other places of interest in Kos worth visiting.
