Kardamena
Καρδάμαινα
A resort town on the south coast known for its long beach and bar street, and the departure point for day trips to the volcanic island of Nisyros.
Kardamena is one of the liveliest resort areas on Kos's south coast. Its beaches stretch several kilometres in both directions, and its nightlife and bar street attract young visitors in summer. Boats leave the harbour daily for Nisyros, a crossing of about 45 minutes, making it a good base for a volcano day trip. The town has plenty of restaurants and accommodation, but many close in the off-season.
