Best beach on Kos – but the most difficult to reach: Cavo Paradiso. The Cavo Paradiso is located at the most south point of the island Kos. After half an hour of driving on a bumpy road – the road becomes even more bumpier… Not good for rental cars in Greece. To get to this beach, it’s probably best to take a quad. Since we did not want to break our car, we decided to walk down to the beach. Also not a good idea.
Besides giant ants and scorching heat (because it was 11:00 a.m. when we started our walk) it took us 40 minutes down to the beach. Because we hadn’t planned a hike, flip flops weren’t the best footwear either. So my friend had to walk barefoot on the half way back because her flip flops broke on the way.
Nevertheless, the sight and the beach itself was worth the effort to reach it. Down at the beach a small beach bar plays relaxing music and offers cool drinks, while you can just lean back on the sun beds and enjoy the view. Cavo Paradiso is a sandy beach with turquoise-blue water. After the strenuous journey one really feels like in paradise.
If you want to be more on your own – no problem. Just walk up the beach for a while and you can be all to yourself. This spot isn’t touristic either. I guess because no bus can drive down this bumpy road.
