Tingaki Resort - (Resorts on Kos)

Trevor B           

Just got back from 2 weeks at the Dimitri's Beach apartments(Akti Dimis). Although the resort was being plagued by swarms of insects during the early evenings we still had a good time. Tingaki is ideal if you want to get away from it all and just laze on the beach all day and then chill out over a good meal in one of the many fine restaurants in and around the town before settling down with a bottle or two of Mythos.
If you need to hear an English voice in the evenings, visit the bar in front of the Meni Beach Hotel. Your host Andy Cox has been on the island for many years and is a fountain of local knowledge and is very helpful. The restaurant in the hotel is well worth a visit.
This was our second visit in four years to Tingaki and our fourth visit to the island in as many years. I think it is safe to say that we have fallen for Kos and the people who make you feel very, very welcome.

Castle Bar - (Bars in Kardamena)

Have been frequenting the Castle Bar (or George and Bessie's) for the past three years, even when not staying in Kardamena. Gearge is an excellent entertainer and host with a never emptying bottle of Mettaxa on hand. This is an ideal place to visit to chill out and caters for all ages. As some of the other comments point out, George has a thing for hats, in particular his multi coloured trilby which is donned every night at 10pm sharp.
If you are calling in, please say "yasoo" to George, his lovely wife Bess, his Dad Chris and if he's around baby Chris (the barman in training!)
