Located just 11 km west of Kos Town, Tigaki Beach is one of the island’s most beloved coastal escapes — a long, golden stretch of sand that seems to go on forever. With calm, shallow waters and a wide sandy shoreline, it’s perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to relax in a peaceful setting with a view of the endless Aegean.
The beach is fully organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, water sports, and a laid-back line of beachfront tavernas where you can enjoy local dishes like grilled octopus or a fresh Greek salad just steps from the sea. Yet, despite its popularity, Tigaki never feels crowded — there’s always space to breathe.
Behind the beach lies the Alikes Salt Lake, a protected area that comes alive with birds, including flamingos during the spring months, adding a touch of wild beauty to the scene. And as the sun begins to set, Tigaki reveals one of the most magical sunsets on the island, painting the sky in soft pinks and purples.
Whether you’re here for a swim, a bike ride along the coast, or just to unwind with your feet in the sand, Tigaki Beach is a must-visit during your stay in Kos.
📍 Tip: Rent a bike from Kos Town and ride along the scenic coastal road to Tigaki — it’s one of the best cycling routes on the island!

5 months agoThe rooms are clean, a little small, but they have everything you need for your stay. However, we were disappointed by the buffet, which is really poor quality with the same dishes every day, which is a bit disappointing considering we're paying quite a lot for the all-inclusive package. I think it’s made for the german/english tourists who don’t eat real good food. Also, the cleaning ladies are very noisy and intrusive. For example, even with the "do not disturb" sign on the door, they still come into your room... Otherwise, the hotel is well located and calm, close to the beach and with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

5 months agoIf you wanna be among thousands of other tourists, this is the place to go. Not quiet, not clean, not fun. Lots of sunbed squeezed into a very narrow beach. The street through the village getting there is full of junkie gift shops, and expensive food places. Also lots of loud music. We prefer something quieter and less touristic like Lagada Beach on the south side of Kos.

6 months agoAmazing for toddlers, we loved the drinks along the rooster pathway and super comfy sunloungers. Friendly staff and only 5 euros a bed with umbrellas!

9 months agoWow! Stunning beaches! We went to Andrea's beach- 15 euro for front row sunbeds with a beautiful umbrella, a lockable storage cupboard and a service button to the close by restaurant. You simple press the button and they come to you to take your order and then bring it back to you at no extra cost! Fancy a beer in the sea- just press your button! The sand was lovely and the sea was clear with a few fish HOWEVER- WARNING ⚠️ I stepped on a weever fish 🐟 and was poisoned, the pain is horrendous and intense, it's immediate and you must seek medical attention straight away! There are no warning signs of these fish in the waters and there was no help! The restaurant told us to go to hospital and the treatment is unpleasant. It could ruin your holiday so make sure your get yourself some sea shoes! Other than that tigaki itself is lovely with plenty of shops and restaurants on offer.

a year agoThe hotel isn't what you expect from a four star, you have to pay for use of safe, no kettle in room, no entertainment other than greek music one night. Majority of staff aren't friendly. Definitely catered for German guests, we stayed in September & there were mainly German pensioners. All inclusive drinks were self service drinks in the day so it was limited to a few options, no spirits until after 6pm. Food was quite bland, dinning room dark & dated, trees around hotel blocked out alot of sunlight. Sunbeds were plentiful, pools were clean, rooms were clean. All German channels on the TV no English. No toiletries in bathroom either, few tweaks could do so much better as per other reviews. Wouldn't stay here again if I came back to kos.
