Elena Mavridis

Elena Mavridis – First Immersion in Greece in 2009 My journey to Greece began with an unexpected gift of fate. As a philology student, I won a grant for a summer language program in Athens. What was planned as a three-month academic adventure completely transformed my life. Stepping onto the land of Hellas, I felt an inexplicable thrill – as if my soul recognized the place where it was destined to flourish. After completing the program, I made an impulsive decision to stay for another six months, working as a translator for a small tourism company. Every weekend, I dedicated to exploring new corners of the country – from the majestic ruins of Peloponnese to the secluded beaches of the Cyclades. For over 16 years now, I've been working as a Greece expert, creating unique journeys that reveal the authentic soul of this ancient land. I live between Athens and the island of Naxos, constantly expanding the map of my Greek discoveries. Greece is an amazing world where myths come alive in every stone, and history breathes in modernity. Greeks are incredibly open people for whom philoxenia (love for guests) is not just a tradition but a way of life. Over these years, I have developed more than a thousand personalized itineraries for travelers from around the world, created a popular podcast about Greece's hidden treasures, published an illustrated guide to Greek regional cuisines, and collaborate with leading travel magazines as an expert on authentic Greek destinations.

Beaches on Kos

Kos Island has a lot of lovely beaches. All of them are surprisingly clean. Besides, all the beaches we visited were free. As for sun lounges you have to pay 1.5 – 3.5 euro per person.

There are some differences between the beaches. The north coast ones like Tigaki, Marmari and Mastichari are sandy beaches with nice crystal clear water. The beach is always rather windy and it makes problems for swimmers even if the waves are normal.

Shallow waters of Tigaki beaches make the place ideal for kids and an easy place to swim.The north coast beaches are quite long and if you need a remote place you can easily find it.

Beaches on the eastern side of the island such as Lampi, Psalidi and Agios Fokas are mostly pebble ones. They are lovely too and if you have nothing against pebble these beaches will suit you perfectly. But take into account that as you move further south toward Thermes the pebbles get bigger and bigger and even change to cobbles in some places.

Paradise beach

Many people consider the beaches in Kefalos and Kardamena area to be the best ones on the island. As for the Paradise beach I devoted a separate article to it. But it’s not the only lovely beach in that part of the island. All the beaches here have fine white sand and crystalline waters a bit colder than on other beaches of the island. If you have a chance these are the beaches worth visiting at least several times.

In any case I’m sure all the beaches on Kos Island will not disappoint you.
