Agios Stefanos Beach & Kastri Islet
Άγιος Στέφανος / Καστρί
Beside the beach are the remains of early Christian basilicas from the 5th century, and offshore is Kastri Islet with its small chapel, among Kos's most photogenic views.
On Agios Stefanos Beach in Kefalos Bay, the remains of two 5th- to 6th-century early Christian basilicas and fragments of mosaic floors survive. About 100 m offshore is Kastri Islet, topped by a small chapel with a white roof. You can swim or paddleboard out to it. Silhouettes at sunset are especially beautiful. Hotels and restaurants are nearby, and water sports are plentiful. Entry is free.
