Agios Stefanos Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches on Kos, combining natural beauty with fascinating history. Located in Kefalos Bay, this sandy beach is famous for the remains of an early Christian basilica that stand right beside the shore, creating a unique setting unlike any other on the island. The crystal-clear waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, while the small islet of Kastri, just offshore, provides a stunning backdrop for photos. Visitors can even swim or take a paddleboard across to the islet and explore its charming white chapel.

2 months agoNicer part of the beach is occupied by 5* hotel. Sunbeds are only for tourist that stays in hotel. However is still nice to at least walk here and see historical archaeological ruins. As there is nice view from there. Or you can stay for few hours.

3 months agoBeautiful beach. A little hard to find but definitely worth it. The water clean and blue. No facilities that could be used, but I was there at the beginning of the season and maybe it’s better once everything is open. I would definitely recommend visiting. A fantastic place to enjoy Greek Sun and sea.

a month agoBeautiful pebble beach. Clear waters and restaurants for a drink and lunch. Some sunbeds are linked to one of the cafes and a young man was taking food and drink orders from the sunbeds

4 months agoThis Beach is a gem. 💎 The waters are fantastic. You can rent a bicycle-boat and visit the small island with the beautiful church. Don’t forget to get a sun umbrella with you as the sun beds on the right side belong to the Hotel and aren’t given to visitors
