Kos Beaches
Near Kos town there are two
beaches, both very clean but often overcrowded.
The
local Kos city bus goes to the less crowded beach at Lampi at the northern
tip of Kos and Psalidi (3km) to the south. This same bus also goes to Aghios Fokas (8km), just
where the south coast begins. Or get your own scooter and head to the more remote Embros Therma (13km),
due south of Kos town where the hot springs make the water a few degrees
warmer and the hot volcanic sand is dark gray.
On the NE shore of the island Kos
is flat and has a decent beach at Tagaki pictured far left
although as you can see it gets crowded. Close at hand are the salt marshes of Alikies where in spring numerous flamingoes and other migratory
birds stop in.
The protected loggerhead turtles also use the sandy
spots for their egg laying. Marmari village has a good size
sandy beach and is where to catch the water taxi to Pserimos Islet.
It also has a horseback riding center, Tel: 41783.
Further along
the coast is quieter Mastichari with its nice beach and the port
for Kalymnos.
