La proprietà — Asteras Resort
Asteras Resort is a straightforward, mid-range option set back from the beach in Psalidi, a 15-minute coastal walk east of Kos Town. The lobby feels functional and quietly busy, with a small bar and reception area that gets morning sun. Its USP is the large, well-maintained pool and sun terrace, which compensates for the lack of direct sea views. The vibe suits couples or families who want a calm base with decent facilities, but not a lively resort atmosphere.
Cronache di Kos
Kos Town was founded in the 5th century BCE as a Dorian settlement and became a major healing centre thanks to Hippocrates, who was born on the island. The medieval Castle of the Knights, built by the Knights of St John in the 14th century, dominates the harbour and recalls centuries of Venetian and Ottoman rule. A devastating earthquake in 1933 levelled much of the old town, which was rebuilt in a uniform, low-rise neoclassical style under Italian occupation. Today, the town mixes ancient ruins like the Asklepieion with a lively harbour promenade lined with cafés and tourist shops.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Kos →I migliori mesi
May, June, September: warm, sunny days (25-30°C), low rainfall, and sea temperatures still pleasant for swimming, with resorts and beaches far less crowded than July-August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: temperatures regularly hit 33°C with intense midday sun; hotel prices in Asteras can double compared to May. The island fills with package tourists and day-trippers from neighbouring islands. The Kos International Hippocratic Festival (music and theatre) runs through August, adding to demand.
Stagione di spalla
Late May and early October: still good weather (22-27°C), but prices drop 20-30%, crowds thin, and the sea remains swimmable well into October.
Meteo e imballaggio
Kos can get strong meltemi winds in July — sudden, cooling gusts that whip dust across the coast. Pack a lightweight windproof jacket or pashmina for beach evenings, and always carry a reusable water bottle as tap water is safe but often salty.
Briefing della città — Kos
- The main port area in Kos Town underwent a year-long pedestrianisation project completed in early 2026; the harbour front is now car-free, making it easier to walk between cafés and the Castle.
- A new direct bus line (route 5) now runs from the town bus station to Psalidi every 20 minutes during summer, stopping 200 metres from the Asteras Resort.
- The Hippocratic Garden, a small medicinal herb park near the Asklepieion, reopened in May 2026 after a two-year restoration — free entry, worth a short visit.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Asteras Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, facing the garden side (away from the front street). These upper floors catch the sea breeze and are quieter than ground-floor rooms near the lobby or pool bar.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those near the main entrance or lift lobby — they suffer from foot traffic, luggage noise, and lobby chatter. Also skip rooms overlooking the pool area if you want quiet before midnight.
Best views
Garden-side rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor offer the best balance of quiet and a partial sea glimpse. Front-facing rooms might see the street and distant sea, but with more noise.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are the quietest — away from street and ground-floor activity.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is in Kos town, so expect some street noise from local traffic and scooters, especially at ground level. Pool bar music can carry until 11pm in summer.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by ferry, ask for a quiet room away from the main road — the front rooms can be loud with moped traffic. 2) Request a top-floor garden room for a breezy balcony with less noise from the pool area.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Kos
💡 Don't bother with the overpriced tourist shops around it. Instead, grab a coffee from the nearby café on Plateia Platanou and sit on the steps watching the locals walk by.
💡 The castle grounds are free to enter but the interior isn't. Go at sunset for the best light, and climb the short ramp just inside the main gate for a panoramic photo without the ticket.
💡 Visit early morning before the heat and crowds. The shaded paths near the plane trees give you clear views of the mosaic floors without paying for the adjacent museum.
💡 If you're here the first Sunday, arrive just before 10:00 when it opens — it's small and fills up fast. The garden courtyard has nice shade and a few benches. Otherwise, the museum is not worth the full price unless you're very keen.
💡 Take the local bus from Kos Town central station (€1.80, runs every 30 mins) to Marmari village, then walk 15 mins north. Bring your own food and water — the tavernas are 10 mins inland.
