Overview:

Tingaki lies about 10 miles from the airport that has seen a lot of expansion in recent years. There's a large selection of small hotel and apartment blocks to be found here, but the shopping is quite poor and a trip into to Kos is recommended.

The long and sandy beach is one of the best on the island, offering a host of water sports, but the night time can be too quiet for some, as the entertainment is limited.

This resort appeals to those seeking a relaxing beach holiday without great variety in the way of restaurants, nightlife or sights.

There is a widely dispersed selection of small, often family-run hotels, many of them on the road down to the beach.

A laid-back, relaxing resort which has expanded rapidly in recent years. The main bars and restaurants are situated along the central road, close to the beach front.

Locality:

On the N coast. 7 mls W of Kos Town. 9 mls NE of the airport. On a flat coastal plain with salt flats separating it from the neighbouring resort of Marmari. Pserimos Island is just off shore.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

A limited amount of small Tavernas and bars sell the traditional Greek food, which consists of fried or grilled Chicken, Lamb, Squid or Octopus. Most meals are served with lashings of salad, sprinkled with Olive oil. Home style food is hard to find, but can be found here if you look hard enough. Do try the local specials of Mazes( a combination of local dishes), Souvlaki( kebabs), Stifado( traditional stew) and the Fish.

Shopping is limited to a few tourist outlets and minimarkets; there is no bank. More choice in nearby Kos Town.

Entertainment in the daytime mainly consists of beach activities and water sports, particularly windsurfing but also jet-skiing, parasailing and banana boats, off the beach offers horse riding and cycling.

There is not much nightlife in this resort. Mainly consists of 6 or 7 music bars that stay open late, but little else. A trip to Kos Town for the more vibrant types.

A number of greek tavernas and restaurants are strung along the beach front and main road, ranging from traditional Greek cuisine to Italian, Mexican and Chinese.
