Caravia Beach enjoys a tranquil spot in Marmari on the north coast of Kos, framed by gardens and fields that run straight down to one of the island’s best sandy beaches. The shoreline is wide, gently shelving and usually calm, ideal for paddling with little ones or long walks at sunset.

You’re just 100m from a small cluster of local shops, bars and tavernas, and about 1km from Marmari resort centre. When you fancy more bustle, historic Kos Town is around 15km away, with its harbour-front castle, markets and waterfront restaurants. Nearby Tigaki adds a low-key nightlife option if you want somewhere livelier than Marmari but more relaxed than Kos Town.
