About the Beach

Paradise is arguably the most famous and popular beach on Kos, living up to its name with a massive stretch of fine golden sand and luminous turquoise water. Located in the wide bay of Kefalos, it is world-renowned for the "bubbles" that rise from the seabed due to volcanic activity, creating a natural underwater spa. The water is shallow, calm, and stays cool even in the heat of summer, making it a paradise for families and casual swimmers. It is a fully organized destination with a vast array of facilities, including water sports, sunbeds, and a large restaurant overlooking the bay. Despite its immense popularity, the scale of the beach ensures there is room for everyone to enjoy the soft sand and the unique volcanic features. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking the quintessential, high-energy beach experience of the Dodecanese in a stunning natural setting.
