The Property — Agrellis Apartments
Agrellis Apartments is a clean, no-fuss 3-star just back from the beach strip in Psalidi. The lobby smells of bleach and suntan lotion, with a rack of leaflets for boat trips and a polite receptionist who speaks good English. It suits independent travellers who want a functional base without paying for a resort pool or mini-bar. The USP is location: a 300-metre walk to a decent pebble beach and a 20-minute stroll into Kos Town’s harbour.
Chronicles of Kos
Kos was founded in the 11th century BC by Dorian Greeks and later became a major Hellenistic hub under Hippocrates, the father of medicine. The Knights of St John fortified the harbour with a castle in the 14th century, leaving a medieval walled core. Earthquakes in 1933 levelled most of the old town, so the current grid of low-rise whitewashed buildings dates from the Italian interwar occupation. Today it’s a laid-back island capital that relies on summer tourism and local agriculture, with a strong café-and-bicycle culture.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kos guide →Best months
May, June, September. Warm without the July/August heatwave, and crowds are half what you get in summer. Flights and apartments still affordable.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Average high 33°C, ferries and beaches packed. Hotel prices double from June. The Hippocrates Festival in August brings classical concerts to the Asklepion.
Budget shoulder season
Late May–early June and September. Rooms drop 30-40% from peak, sea temperature still 24°C, and tavernas are open but not overflowing.
Weather & packing
Kos can get a sudden, strong meltemi northerly wind in July that kicks up sand and flips umbrellas. Pack a light windbreaker or pashmina for evening ferry decks.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Agrellis Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor, as these are low enough to avoid any rooftop mechanical noise but high enough to reduce direct street-level disturbance. The lift only goes to the second floor, so the upper floors (third) are walk-up only, making them less convenient with luggage.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any rooms on the third floor (if they exist), as the lift stops at the second floor and you'll have to haul bags up a narrow staircase. Also avoid rooms directly above the entrance or near the lift shaft, as these can carry footfall and door-slam noise.
Best views
The property has a Kos address without a named street, so the best view is likely from a front-facing room overlooking the town, but this trades off against street noise. If available, a rear-facing room may sacrifice view for quiet.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are the quietest, being well above street-level bustle but not subject to roof activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Kos town has traffic and pedestrian noise, especially near the port or main squares. The hotel's exact street isn't given, but expect some daytime hum from mopeds and delivery vans. Nightlife noise may carry from nearby bars.
Insider tips
1) If you have heavy luggage, request a room on the second floor (the lift's top stop) to avoid stairs. 2) Check if the hotel offers free street parking or a nearby public car park, as Kos Old Town parking is limited.
- 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

Top Attractions in 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.
