Holiday in Tigaki

What makes Tigaki special as a destination?

Tigaki is the dream beach of Kos and one of the longest sandy beaches in the entire Dodecanese island group. Over six kilometers of fine, golden sand stretch along the northern coast of the island, gently sloping into the turquoise Aegean Sea - a paradise for families with small children and anyone who loves a shallow, safe entry into the water. The vastness of the beach ensures that even in high season there is plenty of space for everyone, and the constant breeze from the north makes the summer heat bearable. What sets Tigaki apart from many Greek beaches is the unique connection between beach and nature. Directly behind the western section of the beach lies the Alykes salt lake, a seasonal wetland that attracts hundreds of flamingos in spring and autumn. The surreal sight of pink flamingos against the backdrop of the azure sea and the Turkish coast in the background is one of the most unforgettable natural spectacles of the Aegean and a hidden gem for nature photographers. The small village of Tigaki has preserved its relaxed Greek charm. Along the main road, family-run tavernas serving honest Greek cuisine line up, while minimarkets, bike rentals, and small boutiques offer everything needed for a carefree beach holiday. The atmosphere is family-friendly and casual - far removed from the mass tourism of large resorts, but with enough infrastructure for a comfortable stay. Kos Town is only ten kilometers away and easily accessible by bus or bike. The bike paths along the coast are among the best in Greece and connect Tigaki with the ancient Asklepion healing site and the hot thermal springs of Embros. From Germany, Kos can be reached by direct flight in about three hours, with the airport located just 15 kilometers from Tigaki.
