Kos holiday report and map

Kamari beach Kos

KAMARI is the beach resort for the tourist centre of Kefalos and gets a mixed response from visitors. Some find it a perfect holiday destination while others report Kamari as a bit of a disappointment.
Kamari beach is used mostly by holidaymakers staying at Kefalos on the hillside inland and it is located about 40km from Kos Town near the western tip of Kos island.
The 5km long beach at Kamari as it is mostly shingle at the main harbour end, the end of the beach closest to the holiday resort of Kefalos that sits behind on the hillside.
Better sand can be found as you move further east along Kamari beach and the best bits of sand are found at the Agios Stefanos end of the shoreline. Unfortunately this stretch of Kamari beach is almost wholly commandeered by a Club Med complex.
There are other good stretches on Kamari beach and really, it is so long that it never seems to get too crowded anywhere.
The beach at Kamari also gently shelves along the shoreline so it is very safe for children, although it can be a bit more dangerous further out where windsurfers and boats proliferate in the Kefalos bay.
The resorts of Kefalos and Kamari beach are backed by the rugged volcanic landscape that is typical of this end of Kos island. There are any number of bars and tavernas backing the Kamari beach.
