    About Agios Stefanos Bay

    Agios Stefanos Bay sits on the southwest coast of Kos, a short drive from the village of Agios Stefanos and about 5 km from the town of Kardamena. The beach is a long, sandy stretch with shallow, moderately exposed water that is usually calm in the morning but can pick up a breeze in the afternoon. Its most distinctive feature is the early Christian basilica ruins that lie right on the sand, giving it a unique historical backdrop. Access is via a paved road that ends at a small parking lot, which can fill quickly in peak season. The beach is fully organized with sunbeds and umbrellas, a beach bar, and a couple of tavernas serving lunch. Water sports are available, and the gentle slope makes it suitable for families. It can get busy, especially around midday, but the wide shoreline prevents it from feeling cramped.
