Atheneon in Kardamena, Kos is a popular cocktail bar with a stunning view of the Aegean. The bar is run by two knowledgeable brothers who have curated a menu of delicious cocktails, including classics like the zombie and mai tai. During the day, visitors can enjoy freshly squeezed apple juice before returning for stronger drinks later on. The staff at Atheneon are known for their mixology expertise and friendly service.
Amazing restaurant! The food is delicious and the portions are big. We also loved the beautiful plates and coasters. 🤩 The staff is very friendly and professional. Probably the only 100% vegan restaurant on the whole island, so you have to go there! 😉

Popped by for a drink mid-afternoon. Was greeted with a fresh glass of cold water and the menu; there was so much choice in terms of drinks and it was such a refreshing change to know that everything was made with plant milk. I went for the Caryda Bam: banana, mango, pineapple and coconut cream - an absolutely delicious smoothie, one of the best I’ve had in a long time. My partner got a freddo cappuccino made with almond milk which worked incredibly well. It’s very hard to get a good coffee with plant milk on the island of Kos and we have finally found a place. The staff are kind and welcoming and I can’t wait to come back and try food next time we visit!

Amazing restaurant! The food was excellent and portions more than enough – we had hummus, bruschetta, and air-fried potatoes, all outstanding. Drinks were great too, with very fair prices. Service was super friendly and helpful, especially about ingredients. We even got a little snack on the house at the start. Stylish interior and fantastic value for money. 100% vegan, but highly recommended for non-vegans in Kardamena! Don't miss it. We'd do it again

From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. One of the highlights was the complimentary water and snacks they provided immediately upon our arrival, a small but thoughtful touch that made a big difference. The food was absolutely delicious, with a diverse menu that catered perfectly to our vegan preferences. Every dish was a delightful surprise, full of rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The exclusive cocktails were another standout feature, each one expertly crafted and bursting with unique flavors. The attention to detail and quality in both the food and drinks truly set Antheneon apart from other dining experiences. Overall, Antheneon provided an outstanding dining experience. The excellent service, delicious food, and exquisite cocktails made our visit unforgettable. We highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Kos, whether you’re vegan or just looking for an amazing meal or drink. Thank you Nicolas for the great conversations. It was a pleasure for us to meet you and the Crew. Please continue to lead the vegan scene forward 🌱🖤

They don't use fruit juice for there mixers (orange, pineapple and apple) they use dilute juice, which is nasty. At night they have some nice entertainment, but the seating arrangements are very very poor and for some really strange reason all the entertainment staff have Saturdays off, no entertainment at all. The staff are really friendly and the location is beautiful.

The Snack bar.. Food is always hot. I found in the main restaurants. The food was luke warm unless freshly cooked infront of you. The gyros is a bit salty. It switches fron chicken to pork depending on what day it is. There are vegetarian options. You can pour yourself a fizzy drink, still fruit juice, or a beer. You can always make yourself an Ice cream. Nice and convenient place to be if your peckish between lunch and dinner.

If you're looking for a lively night out in Kardamena, the Downtown Club is an absolute must-visit. This vibrant hotspot is renowned for its nostalgic cheesy music and energetic atmosphere, making it one of the most popular clubs on the island. With a central location, it's easy to find and serves as a perfect gathering place for friends ready to dance until dawn.
Great club & music. Nice cocktails

€10 entry but free drink that can be a €10 cocktail! Brill music, Victoria secret cocktail yummy!
Hannah H — Google review
We stumbled across Downtown club as it appears to be the only “nightclub” in kardamena you have to pay for entry even during the week when it’s quiet. I would imagine this place is pretty decent when it’s busy during the season but there was about 6-8 people in when we went and the music wasn’t that great a good song would come on and then the DJ would ruin it with a horrible drop.. if you’re going to drink he I recommend sticking to bottled drink as the sprite, cola etc they use for the spirits are warm bottles that have been sitting on the counter for god knows how long, at least put them in a fridge😳also I am adamant the spirits are watered down, a double vodka should not taste like pure warm sprite I know a double vodka when I see one I even watched them pour it and it was still very weak! With a little improvements this place could be great but unfortunately not the place for me.

What an amazing night ! ( ended up turning into nights I enjoyed myself so much). Great atmosphere and music all night long. The bar staff are top class and made me feel so welcome the whole night. Definitively a must if your travelling to Kardamena.

After many years of wandering around Kos’ nightlife, I have recently discovered Downtown club in Kardamena. I have become a regular since then. The personnel is quite nice and pleasant. The drinks are clear, the music is uplifting, and the overall ambiance encourages you to have a good time and meet new people. It comes highly recommended by me.
Kiriaki V — Google review
First evening in Kardamena we wanted to end nicely. We had already read online that two of the best clubs in Kardamena are permanently closed. Actually, we should have already drawn our conclusion from this. Asking € 10 entrance fee for a club where you are the only one present at 01:00 am is of course a joke. We still had the hope that more people would come, but after half an hour we left. Just go to Kos City. Kardamena is way behind.
Stijn P — Google review
All other local places are very welcoming and friendly. Downtown though is on a contrary: the bouncers were rude on our way in and the place gets packed with uncontrollably drunk "lads and gals". Even though there is a limited amount of night life options in Kardamena, this one - in my opinion - is to be avoided at all cost because of staff attitude and lack of authenticity.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Ammos Beach Bar in Psalidi. This charming spot offers an incredible vegan vegetable roll that has won hearts with its homemade feel and fresh, sweet veggies—all at an unbeatable price of just 4.5 euros for two generous wraps! The menu doesn't stop there; you can also indulge in a variety of cocktails and smoothies, including some delicious vegan options made with almond milk.

Right by the sea, this place is pure holiday vibes. Service is spot-on, the food is delicious, and the coffee is just perfect.

The Stone Roses Bar is a well-known and popular hangout spot where good tunes, fine beers and cocktails are being served. The bar has an extensive selection of classic music playing in the background, making it a great place to relax and watch the night unfold. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it easy to mix and mingle with friends.
We stopped by The Stone Roses Bar and had a great time. I ordered a creamy cocktail and my wife had a virgin daiquiri—honestly, mine was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Perfectly mixed and full of flavor. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, which added to the relaxed vibe. The seating is super comfortable—great for lounging and taking a break. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking to cool down and enjoy a quality drink in a chill setting.

We ended up there completely by chance, just because the place looked beautiful – and it turned out to be one of the best, if not the best decision we made when it comes to bars in Kardamena. The great atmosphere is perfectly complemented by absolutely top-notch drinks, like the frozen margarita or strawberry daiquiri made with fresh fruit. The bartender is an amazing guy – we had a great chat and a lot of laughs with him. And Czech visitors will definitely appreciate that he even speaks excellent Czech!

Starlight Club Official Kos was established in 1981 as an outdoor disco venue, hence its name. Since then, it has become the largest and most popular club in Kardamena, making it an excellent choice for those seeking vibrant nightlife. Kardamena itself offers a superb blend of beach relaxation and party atmosphere. The renowned Starlight Bar is located here and regularly features acclaimed international DJs.
Perfect….. there really isn’t much more to say about this place. Food, best gyros in kardamena as voted for by a hungry 11 year old that has pretty much eaten gyros at every restaurant, Jack Daniel’s burger, absolutely unbelievably good. And everything else we ate was beautiful. The setting, beach front, the world’s comfiest sun beds, cabanas, or seating undercover. The drinks, beautiful cocktails, cold beers, strong coffee all served with a smile. Overall, the place is amazing. Jodie, Peter & James are great hosts and the 3 lads on the beach never stop running around. our party of 6 with an age range of 11-72, all loved this place and it comes highly recommended by us all.

A really lovely place. I spent the whole day at the beach. The sunbed is comfy and free, I just had to order food and drinks worth 25€ to lie there as long as I wanted. I got lunch and had a few drinks. I really enjoyed the food. Everything is better with molten cheese. In the evening I had some really good cocktails and enjoyed the wonderful view. The place has beautiful decorations and very friendly staff.

Thank you so much Jodie, James, peter and staff for making our time here Fantastic! Until next time ✌🏻😎☀️🌴🍹

I didn't like the place. At first you are attracted to a nice fancy place with nice sun beds. And then it's 25 per person, not the usual 25 per set. But since the prices are overpriced, it's not a lot of money in general, but the quality is not there at all. In all dishes a huge pile of the cheapest fries. There is so much ice in the drinks that it is not clear whether there was a drink at all. I won't go back.

The drinks were definitely the best we had whilst on the island. If we ever go back to Kos it would definitely be because of this amazing place!!!!

This place quickly became one of our favourites. We first discovered it on TikTok, where the food, décor, and beach view caught our eye, and it definitely lived up to expectations. On our first visit, we were greeted by the owner, who was so friendly and chatty, instantly making us feel welcome. We ordered some drinks (which were spot on) and food that really hit the spot. The service was brilliant, honestly couldn’t have asked for better. When we returned a second time, we met the other owner, who had lived in Leeds most of her life. She was just as warm and down-to-earth as her partner, which made us feel like regulars even though it was only our second visit. We tried the gyros this time, including the vegan one, and it was absolutely delicious. They suggested we come back in the evening, when the fairy lights are on and the menu changes from the afternoon, so we made it our last stop before heading home. The vibe at night was lovely, with a really relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying drinks by the sea. All in all, it’s one of those places that just sticks with you. Great food, amazing service, and the kind of owners who make you want to come back again and again. Definitely worth a visit, even if it’s just to stop by for a drink.

The Garden Cafe & Cocktail Bar is a picturesque Greek taverna with an enchanting outdoor seating area adorned with twinkling fairy lights and traditional stone walls. This establishment offers a delectable array of menu items, including refreshing fruity cocktails and indulgent chocolate dream waffles for dessert. Portoeye, as this bar is known, provides the perfect ambiance to savor a cup of coffee while listening to the soothing sound of waves.
Despite not having a sea view, the setting of the dining area at the restaurant is very nice. Large trees covered in lights hang over you where you can people watch as they pass by in the street. Salmon / avocado starter was a delight and the ravioli main was delicious (although maybe not enough of it). The pinot grigio was lovely and refreshing on a hot evening and finished off with an 'old fashioned' cocktail which was very nice. All in all an excellent meal served by very polite staff.

I had an amazing experience at The Garden Bar & Kitchen on Kos! The food is absolutely delicious, the live music entertainment creates a wonderful atmosphere, and the signature drink creations are simply phenomenal and have a very balanced and complex taste. The location itself is beautiful, and the lime trees in the back garden add a very special and charming atmosphere. This place is truly a hidden gem on the island and definitely worth one (or several 🤭) visits. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and genuinely friendly – me and my girlfriend even had a few very nice chats with Alex :) which made us feel extra welcome. Highly recommended! 👍🏼🌟

An oasis of great food, lovely drinks and fantastic service. The menu is one pager with a focus on quality, portion sizes are very generous and the vibe is chilled under the trees out front. Value wise it's crazy good even before factoring the the dining experience and the cocktails keep you there long after the food has gone down. I really want to shout-out the gentlemen who I think is the owner. Each time we've visited he's always been very attentive and engaging making sure the experience has been top notch with nothing being too much trouble. There are lots of amazing places to eat locally and this is has got to be at the top of the list to try.

We had the best time at The Garden and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. When we first came across The Garden, we dipped our toe with some cocktails - the Garden still hands down wins the award for the best Pina Colada on the island…and I sampled quite a few on our trip! We then tried some starters for our lunch, the beetroot hummus gets an honourable mention here. Then we came back for dinner another night. The food was incredible, so delicious and the portions were so generous (you definitely won’t leave hungry!) The menu is obviously well thought out, great options, but not too many options to make it feel like an overwhelming choice. What really makes this place special though are the genuine people. Alex and Stam are the kind of owners who make you feel right at home the second you walk in. They don’t just run a restaurant. They’ve created a space where everyone feels welcome, like you’re being invited into their own garden at home. They always had time for a chat, a laugh, or a story, and you can tell how much love they’ve poured into making this place special. It’s rare to meet people who make such a lasting impression, but these two really do. They took such good care of us, and it felt more like visiting friends than going out for dinner or drinks. It didn’t feel like we were customers, it genuinely felt like we were getting to know some amazing people. Every single member of staff we met were so welcoming. But a special mention also goes out to Vasiliki – she’s so lovely, warm, and welcoming, she really added to the whole experience. She also gave us some amazing recommendations for Kos town. On top of all that, the vibe here is amazing, day or night. They do DJ and live jazz band nights, and whilst the atmosphere here is something special anyway, it completely transforms the garden into something magical. We kept coming back and ending our nights here, for most of our trip to be honest, as it was that good. It’s one of those places that stays with you – amazing food, amazing people, and such a relaxed, friendly vibe. Our only regret is that we didn’t get to meet Alex & Stam’s dog Slomo who’s famous in Kardamena, for his strolls to and from the beach to cool down! If you’re in Kardamena, don’t miss out on this gem. 🌿

First stop on our bar crawl. Two beers, four cocktails, €41. Absolute bargain – cheaper than a round at Wetherspoons, and this place even had wall décor! The bar was plastered with football shirts, no doubt kindly “donated” by drunk tourists who woke up the next morning wondering why they were topless. Even the beer mats were hilarious: apparently the local taxis were only a phone call away… to a firm in Kilmarnock, who were also recruiting. Handy if you fancied quitting your holiday and starting a new career. We booked a table for the following night to watch the football, and staggered off like six explorers who’d just conquered Base Camp.

NEVER AGAIN !!!! Ordered drinks and settled down to watch the All IRELAND GAA match shown as advertised. Just before the half time whistle they removed it and put on the preview of the Lionesses match. Asked them to turn it back on but they refused. Was then asked to pay my bill. So if your Irish give this place a miss. Have never felt so intimidated by any bar on my holidays. SHAME on you Crossroads bar and hope your Irish customers will wish you well and give your money to somewhere who treats all as equals.

The restaurant is located near the marine and has got a good view. Coffee and bar and they are serving food as well. We dropped by the town while going to Kos city center, and sit there for cold drinks. Ordered two frappes and a "crunchy ice drink". We asked for our frappes with sugar but I am not sure they were served with sugar. But the crunchy ice drink was so delicious. By the way, I have to say that the speed of the service was amazing. We ordered the drinks and then they were served within 2 minutes.

Skala Cafe & Cocktails is a great place to eat or drink. It has fantastic hospitality and always welcomes its guests with open arms. The drinks and food here are of high quality, making it a favorite of many. It first opened its doors in 2017 and has since become one of the most popular bars on the strip.
I recently dined at the wonderful Skala restaurant by the port, and I had a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the kind and generous staff, whose warmth made us feel instantly welcome. The food was nothing short of extraordinary—each dish was crafted with care and love, showcasing fresh ingredients and unique flavors. We didn't have to wait long for our meals, which was a pleasant surprise. The beautiful view of the port added an enchanting backdrop to our meal, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking delicious food, exceptional service, and a stunning setting. Highly recommended!

So, on our first night in Kos, we set out on the noble quest for food and drink. Picture us as hobbits wandering into Mordor, except instead of orcs we were ambushed by enthusiastic restaurant reps promising the best meal of our lives. After dodging more offers than a timeshare presentation, we surrendered to Skala. They whisked us up to the rooftop, where the view of the sea was so stunning I briefly forgot I was hungry. Service was a little slow, but to be fair our waiter was basically starring in his own one-man show, running around serving everyone like Usain Bolt with a tray. When he finally reached us, I spotted Erdinger on the menu—so naturally, I made the only correct life choice. The wife and I went for the Meze, as did two of our brave companions, while the final couple chose the seafood platter—aka Poseidon’s crime scene. Highlights of the Meze included a beetroot and garlic dip so good I briefly considered proposing to it. As for the platter, I was offered a piece of octopus, which was surprisingly tasty. (Although, eating something with that many legs feels a bit like revenge.) Our waiter remained cheerful throughout, and before letting us pay he brought us a complimentary digestive drink. Either it helps digestion, or it was his way of saying, “Thanks for waiting 45 minutes for bread.” Prices were reasonable, the vibe was friendly, and overall I’d highly recommend it—just don’t make eye contact with the seafood platter unless you’re ready for nightmares.

Amazing experience. Was recommended this place by the local tattoo shop around the corner (Stefanos Ink 2), due to the vegan menu they offer. And we were not disappointed. First night I had the greek tacos and my god were they greek portions!! Everything was amazing, great service, great cocktails, great food. Cannot recommend this place enough. Came back the next day and i had the swordfish whilst my partner had another exotic vegan dish. We both left happy on both occasions. Best restaurant in Kardemena.

I wish we were back here! Absolutely loved our experience at this family-run Greek restaurant. The food was nothing short of delicious — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There's an impressively wide selection on the menu, making it easy to find something for everyone. For a romantic dinner, the rooftop setting overlooking the harbour is ideal. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a meal, especially at sunset. If you fancy a jolly sing along evening then I highly recommend the ABBA night on Fridays. It brings so many laughs and is a lovely atmosphere. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive — you can tell they take pride in what they do. It’s clearly a labor of love, and that comes through in both the food and the service. We can’t wait to return to see Kosta and family again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine in a beautiful setting!

Casa Rossa is a charming little treasure situated slightly away from the city center. The staff members are extremely amiable, and the beverages offer a delightful flavor while being reasonably priced. Furthermore, they have the unique feature of serving drinks on the nearby beach, which becomes beautifully illuminated at night. The music selection is enjoyable and set at an appropriate volume level. It comes highly recommended with one particular favorite being the spicy Caribbean cocktail.

Great Dining Experience at Sunbeam Restaurant We had a lovely evening at Sunbeam Restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. We had reserved a table a few hours earlier in person and were given the best seat in the house – a wonderful touch that made us feel truly welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the seafood, and paired perfectly with a nice glass of wine. While the prices are a bit higher compared to other nearby places, the comfortable atmosphere and excellent service made it worth it – after all, we’re on holiday!

A Hidden Gem in Kos – The Perfect Blend of Relaxation and Charm This place is an absolute gem on the island of Kos. The decking area by the sea is beautifully laid out with comfortable sun loungers, each pair shaded by an umbrella and completely free to use – a rare and welcome touch. Steps lead directly into the sea, making it easy to swim without dealing with the stones on the shore. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, even with children around enjoying themselves. The staff were friendly and attentive, always nearby with a smile and ready to serve from an excellent menu of drinks and cocktails. Everything we tried was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The food was equally impressive, fresh, tasty, and clearly made with care. They even had English sausages which my 3 year old loved and called the waiter 'sausage man'. As the sun set, the decking transformed into a gorgeous seaside restaurant, lit with lanterns and offering a truly magical setting for dinner. The sound of the waves and the soft lighting made for a calm, romantic, and memorable evening. This spot is a must-visit for anyone in Kos – whether you’re looking to lounge by the sea with a drink in hand or enjoy a delicious meal with unbeatable views. Thank you to Lisa, Harry and the team.

We had an amazing experience. It's located right on the seafront, the views are simply breathtaking. The food was absolutely delicious, with really generous portion sizes. The place itself is charming, combining a cozy atmosphere with the natural beauty of the surroundings. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink or a full meal, the experience is heightened by the stunning sea view. They serve amazing cocktails, some of the best I’ve had in Kos, which perfectly complement the relaxing atmosphere. 🍹 What really made our visit special was the exceptional service. It’s a small family-run business, and the owners are incredibly welcoming and kind.I was incredibly appreciative of the bar’s thoughtful gesture to buy a cake from a local cake shop for my daughter’s birthday, even though they don’t usually offer cakes. I was pleasantly surprised by how willing they were to help make the celebration special, and it truly exceeded my expectations. They also offer a Greek night program with live music, which I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to strong winds on the night I went, but I’m sure it would have been an even more incredible experience. I highly recommend East Coast to anyone visiting Kardamena. I will definitely return, and even considering booking their accommodation next time because of the wonderful experience we had. Thank you! 🌹

We came one night during our holiday after walking past the busier part of Kardamaina, everything was absolutely brilliant! It is a beautiful little spot and the food and drinks were amazing for such a reasonable price. The first night we came my digital camera was taken by a gust of wind into the sea and rocks next to us, before we knew it one of the owners was down looking for us but unfortunately we had no luck, the following day we returned not only for the camera but to enjoy this lovely place again. The same owner had been back down the rocks in the morning and again tried to find the camera and we couldn’t thank him enough. It is a family run business and they make you feel like one of their own. Our second visit involved us being taken from our table and joining the family for traditional Greek dancing as they had a live DJ playing and a little party, amazing food and fabulous cocktails! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! If we were able to I would come here every day of our holiday and it’s safe to say we we will definitely be returning😊

Went for the first time tonight, had the cheesecake cocktail and was blown away. It was delicious and could tell exactly what it was supposed to taste like. Will definitely be going again. Only one lady working tonight as well and couldn't have had better service.

Loved everything about AYA Lounge. Beautiful setting right by the sea, chill music, and super comfy sunbeds. Can‘t wait to come back!

Incredible bar transitions from a chilled place in the evening to a nightclub vibe after 12, great drinks and service - they can’t do enough to make sure you have a great experience!! A definite must visit when in Kardamena! Great prices and super relaxed place to be, stayed for hours every night

As we approached, We No Speak Americano blasted out. Naturally, we channeled our inner Inbetweeners and performed the dance. People in the street gave us the kind of looks you’d reserve for escaped zoo animals, but did we care? Nope. We got drinks, the barmaid promised us free shots for our cinematic entrance… then forgot. Five cocktails and a beer later, we left, unfazed and frankly proud of ourselves
