The Property — ANASTASIA HOTEL
A pale three-storey building in central Kos Town, with a small pool tucked behind the lobby. Inside, the vibe is calm and practical: white walls, dark furniture, and a breakfast lounge that feels like a proper Greek café. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, no-fuss base near the harbour without paying resort prices. Standing in the lobby you hear the hum of a fridge, the clink of coffee cups, and faint bouzouki music from a nearby taverna.
Chronicles of Kos
Kos Town was settled by Carians in antiquity and became a major medical centre under Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. The Knights of St John fortified the harbour in the 14th century, leaving the castle that still dominates the waterfront. A devastating earthquake in 1933 levelled much of the old city, which was rebuilt in a rational neo-classical grid under Italian rule. Today its identity blends ancient ruins (the Asklepieion), a lively café-lined marina, and working-class ferry-town energy.

Live City Briefing — Kos
- Kos harbour ferry schedules changed for July 2026: the Bodrum catamaran now departs at 08:30 instead of 09:00, and the Rhodes high-speed has a 14:00 weekday slot.
- A new pedestrianised zone on Vassileos Georgiou street opened in June 2026, linking the castle to Eleftherias Square — expect quieter traffic but more café spill-out seating.
- The Asklepieion archaeological site now requires pre-booked time slots on weekends in July; buy tickets online at least 48 hours ahead to avoid queues.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to ANASTASIA HOTEL, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear (courtyard side). These floors are high enough to reduce street noise from Ethnkis Antistasis and offer better privacy. The rear aspect avoids the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing the street. They’re closest to a busy thoroughfare, and the low elevation means more direct traffic noise, especially from scooters and early-morning deliveries. Also avoid rooms directly above the lobby or lift shaft — footfall and clatter carry up.
Best views
Street-facing rooms on upper floors (3rd–4th) give a partial view of the town and sea glimpse; rear-facing rooms overlook the quiet side streets or courtyard. No guaranteed sea view at 3-star level without specific data.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest. Higher than most street-level disturbance, and less foot traffic from the lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Ethnikis Antistasis is a main road in Kos Town — expect traffic from early morning (around 7am) until late evening. Scooters and taxis are common. Rear rooms are significantly quieter. The lift is a standard mechanical lift, audible on adjacent floors.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, ask about free on-street parking on side streets behind the hotel — the front is metered. 2. Check-in can be rushed; request a quiet room at booking, not on arrival, as reception may not hold requests without prior notice.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Kos Town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots as they add high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels, but cash is still needed for small tavernas, markets, and bus fares.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% at restaurants is appreciated but not expected; tip taxi drivers by rounding up; hotel staff appreciate a few euros for good service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or freddo espresso at a local kafeneio costs around €2.50-3.00.
A gyros pita from a casual takeaway spot is about €3.50-4.00.
A main course at a modest taverna, like moussaka or souvlaki, costs roughly €8-12.
Gyros and souvlaki shops line the main streets near the harbour and central square; look for spots with a grill and a short queue of locals.
Supermarket chains like AB Vassilopoulos and Sklavenitis are common in the area.
The main market street in Kos Town, especially around Eleftherias Square, has affordable high-street shops and markets for basics.
The local bus network (KTEL) costs about €1.50-2.00 per ride within Kos Town; from the airport, the bus into town is about €3.50 and much cheaper than a taxi (€25-30).
Eat where locals queue — look for tavernas away from the waterfront; buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not mini-marts; visit free beaches like Psalidi and use the public bus system instead of taxis.

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.
