Overview:

Marmari is a beautiful, verdant tourist resort with several hotels and a wonderful coast, while all around outspreads a fertile plain. This area caters for all types, but especially those seeking a relaxing beach holiday.

The accommodation is spread out all over the resort and sea front, some accessible only along dirt tracks. Hotels tend to be a higher standard than in other resorts and offer a wide range of facilities.

The nearest village of Pyli, a short distance inland, offers more authentic island character. The area is exposed to the elements and suffers from coastal winds.

Locality:

Marmari is found on the North coast of Kos (9 mls W of Kos Town. 8 mls NE of the airport). It is found on the coast, on the opposite side of the salt flats to Tingaki.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

There are long, sandy beaches offering little shade but shallow waters. It can be rather scruffy in some areas. The far end towards Mastihari is mainly sand dunes. There are plenty of sunbeds and sun umbrellas, and some beachfront bars and restaurants. Water sports are available at the main resort centre.

The shopping here is limited to a few small supermarkets and tourist shops. There are no banks. For a wider variety Kos Town is a short distance away..

During the daytime activities are beach- and water-based, including windsurfing, cycling, go-karts, horse riding.

The nightlife offers 1 disco bar. Otherwise most of the entertainment is found in hotels.

There are a few small tavernas offering a good standard of local cuisine.
