  • Cool Kos glamping in gardens studded with lemon trees
  • In Marmari, 10 minutes' walk from Limnara Marmari beach
  • Greek-themed activities, restaurant, herb garden and pool with a bar
Well, here’s a rather swish spot for a stay – those pics may look a bit like a pricey boutique hotel but in fact Sails on Kos is a family-run glamping village with more than a pinch of contemporary chic. A warm Greek welcome awaits for guests at this site in Marmari, a 10-minute walk from Limnara Marmari beach – not least because this South Aegean isle is famed for having some of the highest sunshine-hours stats in the entirety of the Med. Many of those hours are likely to be spent at the beach, and there’s watersports kit for hire on site to help you get active (although the sand’s mighty fine for sunbathing if that’s your thing). Site staff are full of tips for more outings – ask their advice on which ancient sites, hiking trails, horse riding tours and island boat trips they recommend. After even more to keep you busy? Excursions include half-day walking tours and sunset visits to the thermal springs, and bikes are available for rent. There’s even more activity on site too: from campfire theatre storytelling sessions and traditional Greek dancing to stargazing and morning yoga classes. Cheese and wine tasting sessions and local cooking classes are popular picks, while kids can get stuck into Olympic god-themed treasure hunts. Time to chill out? Pick your spot among the eco-friendly site’s aromatic green gardens and lemon trees, or by the outdoor pool (which handily has a poolside bar for afternoon refreshments). A restaurant is on site for eats, and guests are welcome to hit the herb garden and organic veg patch if prepping their own.

Local attractions

Clearly you’re going to want to spend a fair chunk of time at the beach – and indeed you can, with it being a mere 10 minutes’ walk away. If that’s not enough aquatic time, top up with outings to Lido Water Park (five minutes’ drive) or Aquatica Water Park (20 minutes). Alternatively, seek out a change of beachy scenery at Agios Stefanos (25 minutes) or Paradise beach (an hour but worth the trip – as the name suggests) or make for Mastichari (15 minutes) for boat trips to craggy Kalymnos, an island known for its diving and climbing. Greece has a certain amount of history behind it, of course, so it would be something of a mistake not to explore even a little bit of that while you’re here. The ruins of Asklepion Kos (20 minutes) make a good place to get a feel for the ancient past, and there are history-tinged ambles to be had around Kos Old Town and harbour (20 minutes) – along with plenty of places to reward rambles with a drink and nibbles.
