Luxury Marmari Holidays

Golden good looks

Marmari sits on a picturesque piece of Kos’ golden coastline, in the northwest of the island. Pretty, peaceful and oh-so-Greek, Marmari is a relaxed village with one of the best beaches in the area and a glimpse of Turkey on the horizon. Expect pale gold sand and bright blue waters backed by a sweep of green, unspoilt countryside.

Luxury holidays in Marmari

The main street runs parallel to the beach, with a handful of local shops, restaurants and a few Greek bars making up the social heart of the town. It’s a good place to get a feel for the traditional side of Kos, with a lovely laid-back atmosphere and one of the most postcard-worthy waterfronts on the island. If you fancy getting out and about, Marmari is the ideal jump-off point for exploring. For starters, the capital, Kos Town, is just 15 minutes away.
