Psalidi

Psalidi is the ideal option if you want to relax on the island of Kos, with plenty of opportunity to take things easy in the sun but with the capital city being just a short trip away.

The modern resort is home to a number of top class hotels, many of which sit alongside an impressive V-shaped beach that is perfect for families.

As well as being somewhere to top up your tan, the stretch of sand and pebble leads gently into calm blue waters where youngsters can paddle away to their hearts content.

There’s a range of watersports that are suitable for those who are more adventurous, with the hot springs at nearby Therma Beach being well worth a visit.

Alongside the beach, Psalidi is home to a large promenade where there is a wide range of bars and restaurants where you can tuck into top class Greek cuisine, whilst there is also a selection of shops where you can pick up souvenirs to take back home.

The promenade also leads all the way to Kos Town, where there are plenty of historical sites to explore for those who want to embrace the culture of the island.

That could include a visit to Neratzia Castle or to the famous tree where Hippocrates used to give lectures.
