About Lambi

Lambi is the city beach of Kos Town and the most convenient beach section on the entire island - a long, narrow sandy beach that hugs the promenade of the island's capital, combining beach enjoyment with urban flair. Those staying in Kos Town literally have the beach at their doorstep and can swim in the sea in the morning, stroll through the old town at noon, and enjoy the sunset along the beach promenade in the evening. The beach of Lambi stretches about three kilometers north of the port of Kos Town. The sand is light and fine, the water is clear and calm, and the entry is shallow enough for children. Sun loungers and umbrellas are neatly arranged, and beach cafés and bars invite you for refreshments in between. The atmosphere is lively but not overcrowded - a perfect mix of comfort and Greek casualness. What makes Lambi special is its immediate proximity to the attractions of Kos Town. The ancient Agora, the Knights' fortress Neratzia, the Plane Tree of Hippocrates, and the archaeological museum are within a few minutes' walk. In the evening, the harbor promenade transforms into a lively promenade with restaurants, cocktail bars, and live music. The nightlife in Kos Town is one of the busiest in the Dodecanese and offers something for every taste. The port of Kos is the starting point for day trips to the neighboring islands of Nisyros, Kalymnos, and Patmos, as well as to the Turkish coast in Bodrum, which is only 45 minutes away by ferry. Kos has an international airport with direct flights from Germany, and the transfer to Lambi takes hardly 20 minutes. The season extends from May to October, with June and September being the most pleasant months.
