Though Kos’ ‘ta spitakia’ was not our first choice, the residence turned out to be very cozy and the vacancies became absolutely magnificent. The accommodations can be described in the terms of ‘houses’, but it’s also so much more than this. Far enough from Kos town center not to be disturbed by the crowd, but not too far – once we’ve made the distance barefoot via the shoreline – it took 1 h 30 min. With the car (or a quad or a baggi or a scooter – the island’s full of the rental options) – 8 min. Hotel manager twice suggested us a ride to city center, if we need it, absolutely free, when it was on her way. In high season the distance from the airport to the hotel may be tricky without transfer, with public transportation you need to take a bus to Kos town, and then a taxi, which would be a lot cheaper than a transfer from the airport. We’ve took a transfer option, and got ourselves an ‘extra’ stop in a supermarket. If you have enough time and skills :) you may cook, the kitchens are equipped and it’s the best option for the families with the kids. There are no breakfasts also. And be prepared, the closest beach is in a walking distance of 15-20 minutes, so vehicle rental maybe is not ‘a must’, but ‘preferable’. You'd need it anyway to explore the island. Referring to the previous comments about wi-fi – we had absolutely no problem with it.
