Olympia Mare Kos

We had a perfect stay at this lovely hotel. A lovely quiet beach is just steps away from the rooms and it is so peaceful yet only a short walk into Kardamena for some great restaurants and shops, car hire, etc. The room facilities in the kitchen/dining area (fridge, small electric hob, kettle, coffee machine) and bathroom (great local soap and toiletry products) were exactly what we needed. Nicos was so friendly and helpful, answering our many questions and offering excellent suggestions on where to go, what to see and where to eat. We will hopefully return soon.

A very special mother and daughter holiday. We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the OM. The hotel is in a secluded position, about 20 mins walk along the road from Kardamena, but there is also a bus going every hour or so. The apartment was spacious, clean and traditional, with a large double bed in the bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen area. The bathroom had a bath with shower attachment, toilet, sink and hair-drier. We loved the complementary high quality toiletries, and coffee making facilities with the coffee pods being topped up daily. Our apartment was on the ground floor, which we had asked for, and the sliding doors in the bedroom were leading onto a private terrace with a table and chairs, from where we could overlook the beautiful, well kept garden with its palm trees, and the sea beyond. One of the highlights of our stay was watching the sunrise from the beach. The beach was private, with sun beds provided, and the water was very clear, there were hardly any other people there. Nikos, the owner, was looking after us very well, as was the rest of the staff. Nikos gave us great advice on where to find the best restaurants and things to do in the area. Make sure you catch a sunset from the mountain village Zia, it's unforgettable. We will certainly be coming back to the OM. Highly recommended. A big thank you from Andrea and Christine.

It’s a dream place to stay if you’d like to have a relaxing, quiet, and private holiday. We stayed for 7 nights (beginning of September) and we wish we could’ve stayed longer. The room is spacious and clean. The hotel beach is literally right in front (20-second walk) and we loved its convenience! The water is very clear and clean, and we barely saw people in the water and most of the time it was all for us. All the guests were respectful and there was always enough privacy for everyone. The owner Nikos is also the highlight of the hotel! He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He gave us lots of tailored recommendations and tips. Also after checkout he let us stay at the hotel beach and lent us towels and everything, very nice!

We arrived a bit later than planned, but Nikos the owner was still very kind and accommodating. His recommendations for things to do and dining were aligned with what I had previously researched, so it was a nice confirmation! The hotel itself has a very tranquil setting and all of the guests kept to themselves. This is exactly what we were looking for and if you're looking for a self service type of accommodation, this is probably the best on Kos when you factor in the private beach, distance to dining, the airport and other attractions. I highly recommend!

Again a wonderful stay in Olympia Mare. Olympia Mare is amazing. It is a place full of peace and relaxation, where you can enjoy life completely carefree. The location right on the crystal clear Aegean Sea is just as fantastic as the beautiful nature, the wonderful garden, the comfortable apartments with great sea view and the very nice and hospitable owner Nikos. And all this only a few steps away from the wonderful beach... We love being there.
