Lambi Holidays

Lambi’s nestled in the north-eastern corner of Kos. Its beach is a blend of sand and shingle, and this is where all the action’s at. Spilling out from Kos Town’s ferry terminal, it kicks things off with a family-friendly, swim-safe section. This bit’s packed with loungers and backed by tavernas and pubs. Further north, things get a little wilder. We’re talking olive trees, flowers, and windsurfer-friendly waves.

Lambi’s beach is edged with handy cycle lanes, so it’s easy to pedal your way around. Tingaki village’s white-sand stretch is just a 20-minute spin away. Plus, the historical sights of Kos Town are 10 minutes away on two wheels. You’ve got a crop of Roman ruins, and a massive Medieval castle crowns the lot. After dark, you can swap your bike for a cab and head into Kos Town to hit the clubs.

When it comes to countries, you’ve got a two-for-one deal in Lambi. Hop on a ferry at Kos Town’s terminal, and you’ll be whisked away to Turkey’s Bodrum Town in just 20 minutes. Spend a day wandering its cobbled streets, exploring the 14th-century castle – complete with spooky dungeons and neck-craning towers – or seeing a sunken shipwreck in the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. If you don’t fancy making the trip, you can take in Turkish views from the comfort of your lounger on Lambi Beach.
