Lakitira Beach Resort

The sun soaked island of Kos, is the idyllic setting for our Lakitira Beach Resort.  Located on the south of the island, looking out over the glittering Aegean, it combines the leisurely pace of Greek island life with every imaginable activity.

Accommodation

The accommodation at Lakitira is spread out amongst 4 acres of colourful gardens and ranges from whitewashed villa-style apartments ("the village") to newly refurbished rooms in the hotel, comprising suites, junior suites, interconnecting rooms and twins. The newly refurbished rooms, all boast flat screen tv's, new bathrooms, fridges and internet access. All have a terrace or balcony, and there are designated child-free areas to guarantee  some peace and tranquillity if you are travelling without children. For a full break down of room types please see below.

Dining

Dining is on a half board basis (with upgrade to full board if you prefer) which includes a delicious array of both breakfast and dinner choices served buffet style in the main restaurant. Lakitira Beach Resort has two speciality restaurants - a lively Italian restaurant or a more traditional Greek taverna both serving regional specialities. Tables can be booked in advance in the speciality restaurants and an allowance for not eating in the main restaurant is deducted from your bill.  Lunch can be enjoyed in the main or Italian restaurants, alternatively you may just wish to enjoy a snack from the beach bar. 

Watersports

For watersports holidays, Lakitira takes some beating.  There is a wide choice of dinghies and windsurfers available, and a range of free group sailing and windsurfing courses on offer for adults and children. Normally consistent winds ensure excellent conditions for all watersports, with gentle winds in the morning rising to force 3-5 in the afternoon. For more information on watersports courses see below.  We also have a PADI scuba dive centre and pre-bookable courses are available.
