| said: We stayed in one of the studios at the Sunshine Apartments. These were spacious and very clean and had 2 single beds, a large dressing table, two chairs with a low coffee table and a kitchen area with fridge, sink and a two ring hob. Limited kitchen utensils though.
The bathroom was very dim as was the dressing table mirror so best to do your makeup on the (small) balcony in daylight before it goes dark! Air con cost 5 Euros a day and was a necessity. No probs with mozzies.
The pool was medium sized with a slide and a few sunloungers but as there was no breeze by the pool and the temperature (late August) was in the 40s, we went to the beach where there was a very slight breeze in the afternoons.
The restaurant has lovely food and friendly service. The location of the apartments was excellent as they are set back from the main road, down a side road, which means they are quieter but only two minutes walk from the main road and between five and ten minutes walk to the beach.
There are enough tavernas and bars for a week’s holiday although some are a bit scruffy and there seemed to be a lot of bars with football on big TV screens which is great for those that like it but not so good if you just want to chat over a drink. The nicest restaurant was at the Meni hotel. Their bar was nice too. There are a few shops along the main road and a much better selection in Kos Town.
You can catch a bus from a few points along the main road to Kos Town. It costs 1 euro 60 and takes 20 mins but bring Magicool and a fan as it’s very hot! Times are listed on the bus stops. Get off at the bus station in Kos Town and get it back from there too.
We got a taxi to the Lido waterpark about 15 mins away (the taxi rank is by the fountain roundabout by the beach) and had a great day there. It’s only a few years old so it is in great condition and was clean and quiet with no queues. It’s cheaper to go on a coach trip organised by the many trip specialists on the main road but the coach trip days are probably busier.
