Aspat Beach & Strobilos
Aspat Plajı
A quiet gravel beach on the south coast of the peninsula, backed by the hill where the Byzantine ruins of Strobilos Castle stand. You can climb the hill for views over the Aegean Sea.
Aspat Bay is lightly developed, with clean water and a few small restaurants by the beach. On the hilltop on the east side of the bay are the ruins of Strobilos Castle, dating from the Byzantine period. Following a dirt track, the climb takes about 30 to 40 minutes. From the top, you get a 360-degree view of Kos and the surrounding bays, and the sunset is spectacular. There is no shade on the climb, so bring plenty of water in summer. A car or taxi is the more convenient way to get here.
