THE MARINA website
KOS Marina is located one mile SE from Kos old harbour and can hold up to 250 yachts. It has gained many flattering comments since its opening in 2001 and many boats from Greece and Turkey moor for a just few days period or all-year-round.
HOW TO REACH OUR KOS BASE
The airport is located 27 km west of the island's major town. A public bus service connects the airport to the city but taxis are also easy to find just outside the airport and they drop you off right in the marina at a fee of 20-25 Euro. (In late July and August taxis are in short, and a delay at the airport is likely to happen).
FACILITIES
Hot water showers and toilets are found close to the moorings. Water and 220V power, telephone and cable-TV are available in all berths. A fuel quay is installed at the opposite side of the entrance of the marina. So, WHEN YOU RETURN BACK to KOS, please dock to the fuel station first and after that enter the marina.
A taxi stand is found within the marina, though is better you ask us or the marina office to order one. ATM cash point is right in the middle of the marina, at the small mall. A number of banks are located in Kos town 1.5 Km distance. The marina is fenced, and a safe, dedicated car parking lot is at the S side near the lift hoist. Internet, telephone and fax services are offered in the Marina's Office - Info Centre where meetings and events can be organized too. Baggage storage is available for a modest charge, at the Reception.
MOORINGS
When returning to the marina berth where directed. There are laid moorings tailed to the quay.
