Greek hospitality, thirty metres from the sea

Philippos Studios & Apartments is a small, family-run home on Banana Beach — the quiet corner of Kardamena, right between the village's two best beaches. The sea is 30 metres from your door; the tavernas, cafés and shops of the centre are a four-minute walk along the waterfront.

Every studio and apartment has its own balcony — most looking straight over the Aegean towards the sunrise — plus a kitchenette, air conditioning and fast free Wi-Fi. Rooms are refreshed daily, and Philippos himself is always around to help with anything from a rental car to the best table by the water.

That is why guests rate our little corner of Kos 9.1 “Exceptional” — and why so many of them come back.
