The Boat on the Beach

Restaurants in Tingaki

Irenka W

Would anybody please be able to tell me what are the meals are like in Tingaki, are they rushed? I have been to a few greek resorts and i find that some of them we felt a bit rush with our meal as they try to get as many people in and out as possible. We like to make a night out of our meal and take our time, but in Zante although the food was fantastic it was a bit rushed as soon as we ordered our food the starter was out within 2mins and when that was taken away our main came out right away not giving us enought time to relax, but when we went to Crete it took a good three hours for us to have a starter main and sometime a sweet, and we took our time and relaxed over some wine. So could anyone tell me what i can expect in Tingaki. Im pregnant this year so im not drinking so our evening meal is quite an imprortant part of our evening.

THE BOAT ON THE BEACH TAVERNA - TIGAKI

It can be found about half way along coast road from KOS TOWN ( LAMBI ) to TIGAKI, you will see a WHITE BOAT on the land near the sea on your right hand side. Take a RIGHT turn opposite an ARMY post, it is a a dirt track, and when you reach the beach, take a left and you will find it, (it is only 5 mins from the main road ).
It is run by Koni and her family. Very relaxing - great sunsets.

THE BOAT ON THE BEACH TAVERNA - TIGAKI / KOS ROAD

This Taverna is situated on the beach between Tigaki & Kos. I don't really think that it has a name, but most people who know it call it The Boat by the Beach or The Old Boatyard.
As you go along the coast road from Tigaki to Kos, you pass The Byron Apartments and then The Resaurant Apellia, and shortly after that you will see a BIG WHITE BOAT on the land by the sea,it is on the LEFT hand side of the road. Shortly after that you turn left opposite an Army post, and follow the track to the beach and then turn left go for about 100 / 150 meters and you can't miss it.

It is run by a Koni and her Greek family, she cooks everything and you can some unusual Greek dishes, which makes a change for Kos. It is nothing to look at just a building with a concrete area in front for the tables, but the whole family are great. There is the Grandmother, her daughter Koni, and her daughter and Koni's husband.

It is a VERY RELAXING place which used to be a Boat Repair Yard, and two of the old boats are still there. Make an afternoon of it and go for a swim, and in the early evening have a meal and watch the fantastic sunsets over Turkey.

Don't get it too busy as it is one of my favourite places where I relax.
