About the Beach

Agios Stefanos is one of the most photographed and culturally significant beaches on Kos, located in the Kefalos bay. It is famous for the ruins of two 5th-century early Christian basilicas that sit right on the edge of the sand, allowing you to walk among ancient columns between swims. Just off the shore is the tiny, picturesque islet of Kastri with its blue-domed chapel, which many people choose to swim to. The beach is sandy and the water is shallow and very clear, making it a favorite for families and history enthusiasts. It is a well-organized spot with all the necessary amenities, offering a unique blend of archaeological beauty and classic Mediterranean seaside relaxation. The atmosphere is serene and visually stunning. It is a must-visit for anyone who wants to combine a world-class swimming environment with the rich historical heritage of the Dodecanese islands in a very easy-going setting.
