The Property — Blue Lagoon Resort
Blue Lagoon Resort, Kos, is a compact, tidy three-star set back from Psalidi Beach, with a large pool and a bar area that feels more lively than the modest rooms. Its USP is the quiet east-coast location, two kilometres from Kos Town’s ferry port, and the all-inclusive package that families and budget-conscious couples appreciate. Standing in the lobby, you get clean white floors, a polite reception desk, and the faint sound of splashing from the pool courtyard — straightforward, no frills, reliable.
Cronache di Kos
Kos Town’s history begins with the ancient Greeks; it was the birthplace of Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. The Knights of St John built the imposing Castle of the Knights on the harbour in the 15th century, and the 1933 earthquake levelled much of the old town, leading to a 1930s Italian-built planned centre with wide streets and rationalist architecture. Modern Kos Town is a mix of Ottoman mosques, neoclassical public buildings, and cheerful tavernas along the seafront, still serving as Dodecanese hub for ferry connections and beach tourism.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Kos →Best months
June and September: very warm (28-30°C), low chance of the Meltemi wind, and beaches uncrowded after the school-holiday rush. May also works for cooler sightseeing (22-24°C).
Peak / festival surge
July and August: temperatures hit 34°C, and Kos Town fills with European charter tourists. Hotel prices at Blue Lagoon double from €70 to €140+ per night. Events include the Hippocrates Festival (cultural performances) in mid-July, which draws day-trippers but not huge crowds.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and late September: rooms 30-40% cheaper, air temperatures still 25-28°C, sea warm enough for swimming, and the resort pool quieter.
Weather & packing
July afternoons often bring a light Meltemi breeze from the north-west, which can sand up a sun lounger. Pack a windproof beach screen or sarong.

- Kos Town’s main bus station by Eleftherias Square has new digital timetables from June 2025, but routes to Kefalos and Kardamena still run hourly; check the KTEL app for real-time departures.
- The Kos Archaeological Museum reopens in April 2026 after a two-year renovation, with the famous Hippocrates mosaic back on display; book a timed slot online in peak season.
- A new beach bar and sunbed rental kiosk opened in April 2026 at Psalidi Beach, about 400m from Blue Lagoon — bring €8 for a pair of loungers plus umbrella.

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.
