Location | Palladium Hotel Kos

Home to unparalleled landscapes, incredible history and culinary delights, Kos is an excellent destination for couples, families and solo travellers alike. A true Mediterranean paradise, offering almost year-round sun, countless activities, pristine golden beaches and crystalline water.

Just a 20-minute drive to the charming coastal town of Kos and 15 minutes from Kos International Airport (Hippocrates), the hotel is well-positioned in Marmari, found between Mastichari and Tigaki. The idyllic village of Marmari, found less than one kilometre away, is known for its long sandy coast dotted with water sports, beach bars and kite and windsurfing clubs. Emerald waters, sandy beaches, authentic people, traditional seafront tavernas and lively cafe bars; what’s not to love?

Pyli, one of Kos' most traditional settlements is less than 3 kilometres away from Palladium Hotel whereas Zia, renowned for its stunning sunsets and local cuisine, is found at a 9 kilometre distance. Close by, Tigaki offers yet another long sandy coast, more seafront tavernas and popular beach bars. Kos Island is home to several other settlements, like Kefalos, Antimachia and Mastichari, all of which offer plenty to see and experience for hotel guests who manage to tear themselves away from their heavenly retreat.

The cycling island

Kos is also known as the island of bicycles and not without reason! Bicycles are used as a means of transport by locals and visitors alike. Riding a bicycle is a very common activity, as there are more than 6.500 bicycles available for rent! Visitors are able to use more than 10 miles of cycling lanes, mainly in the centre of the island. Cycling is an excellent way to wander around in an eco-friendly way, sightsee or simply admire the natural environment and awe-inspiring landscapes of the island.

Kos: an open-air museum

Known as the homeland of Hippocrates, father of modern Medicine, Kos boasts a wide array of historical monuments and archaeological sites that are definitely worth your while! Visit the Asklepieion of Kos, the ancient healing centre where Hippocrates established his medical school. Or the renowned Plane Tree of Hippocrates and the Castle of the Knights, both found in Kos town. The Roman Odeon or Casa Romana are also among the popular sightseeing spots on the island, presenting typical examples of Roman architecture. Last but not least, the Basilicas of St. Stefanos, found on the seafront opposite the floating islet Kastri in Kefalos, form a landscape of extraordinary beauty that is not to be missed.
