Kardamena Marina, Kos, Greece

Kardamena Marina is a small port located in the town of Kardamena on the Aegean Sea. Its location on the island of Kos makes it the perfect place for a relaxing holiday with family and friends.
Kardamena Marina is protected by a breakwater. Yachts are moored bow or stern to the pier that runs from the beach to the sea. Closer to the shore it becomes very shallow. Places for yachts are marked with yellow and white diagonal stripes, just in case, ask for a free place in advance. The mouth of the harbor faces south and is protected from the Meltemi.
Nowadays Kardamena is overcrowded with tourists, especially in summer. A former fishing village with a harbor and very few tourists, it has become a very popular destination. Kardamena is particularly proud of its beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the Dodecanese.
This beautiful harbor will bring you closer to the charm and magnificent heritage of Greece.

We opted to anchor outside the harbor since there was no available space for our catamaran inside. Over the course of three days, we attempted to find refuge from the persistent south wind, but it was the swell that posed the greatest challenge. Despite these conditions, the area itself offers all the amenities one might require.

New electricity and water boxes have recently been installed along the quay, providing improved access for boaters. Unlike before, where multiple boats often had to share a single box, each berth now has its own utilities. However, access to these amenities is now subject to charges, and unfortunately, the card required for this service is currently only obtainable at Kos Marina. Additionally, while there are currently no harbor fees in place, the number of free berths is limited due to the presence of many tourist boats and some vessels with permanent berths. When entering and leaving the marina, caution is advised, as there is a sandbar in the middle of the entrance with a water depth of approximately 1.5 meters. It is advisable to stay closer to the breakwater to the south for safer navigation.
