Marmari beach

A wide, sand-covered beach strip stretches along the shore for 2 kilometers, offering a serene escape for visitors.

• There are relatively few tourists, allowing you to relax in a calm environment. This is especially appreciated by families with children and couples seeking tranquility.
• The shore is favored by surfers due to its windy conditions. A surf school operates during the high season - from May to October - where you can learn to ride the waves.
• Marmari Beach provides amenities such as changing cabins, sunbeds, umbrellas, and showers. However, it is worth noting that the cleanliness of the toilets can sometimes be subpar.
• The sea is typically clear, although on occasion, the wind may bring seaweed ashore.
• The water inlet is gentle, with the depth becoming significant only at a fair distance from the shore, making it safe for swimmers.

The ever-present breeze ensures comfort even during the midday heat. Should the sun prove too intense, visitors can seek refuge in the shade of the large larch trees. The well-warmed waters also make swimming possible into the autumn months.

For those seeking a more secluded experience, there is a "wild" part of the beach, a short distance from Marmari, which is a favored spot for nudists.

When is the best time to go?

The best time to visit Kos for a beach vacation is during the late spring to early autumn months, when the weather is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the island's natural beauty.

• Late Spring (May to June): This period is perfect for visitors who prefer a quieter vacation with fewer crowds. The weather is pleasantly warm, and the sea temperature begins to rise, making it comfortable for swimming. The island's flora is also in full bloom, adding to the scenic beauty.
• High Summer (July to August): These are the hottest months, with temperatures often soaring above 30°C (86°F). This is the peak season for tourists, so expect crowded beaches and vibrant nightlife. The warm sea and the bustling atmosphere make it a great time for those seeking a lively holiday experience.
• Early Autumn (September to October): The temperatures start to cool down, but the sea remains warm enough for swimming. This period offers a good balance between the hot summer and the mild winter, with fewer tourists and a more relaxed environment. It's an excellent time for those who enjoy a peaceful beach experience with ample sunshine.

Regardless of the time you choose, Kos's stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters provide a memorable vacation. Just remember to book accommodations in advance, especially if you're planning to visit during the high season.
