The huge sandy beach of Tigaki, extended at a length of 10 kilometers is situated at the homonymous well known tourist resort, some 11 kilometers western to the town of Kos and 7 kilometers northern to the big village of Asfendiou. The thick and white sand of the beach forms an interesting contrast with the small green valley behind the village. Before the tourists «discover» this excellent place, the beach used to be the tourist resort of the locals, mainly the residents of Asfendiou.

Several big and smaller hotels of all categories, studios and rooms to let are available at the beach and the village, as well as in the area around; all of them are open from April of May until October and offer good service and full facilities to their guests. Due to these advantages and to the nice environment, Tigaki has become one of the most popular destinations of the island.

Food and drink is nice too; there are several taverns offering fresh fish and sea food, along with good variety of Greek and international dishes. You will also find many snack bars and fast foods are available for light meals and refreshments. The place has an intense nightlife; bars clubs and discos promise to keep you awake overnight with loud music and fun.

Swimming is really nice at the long beach with the white sand and crystal clear blue water. The sea is very shallow, ideal for families with small children, beginners in swimming, or elderly people. The beach is fully organized and, apart from facilities for swimming and sunbathing, you will also find a wide range of sea sports. The fans of windsurfing will adore this place, as they will enjoy very much the big waves of the open sea. And, if you don’t know windsurfing, but you feel like trying, a training center is available at the beach. After all these, it is not a surprise that the beach is being awarded the blue flag more than once.

In case of health problems, you should address to the Health Services of the town of Kos (11 kilometers far away at the East).
