Faros Restaurant and its sunbeds on the main beach at Kardamena
Kardamena · Kos

The first restaurant on the beach.

Fresh fish off the grill, Greek cooking, and food the whole table will eat — with our own sunbeds on the sand in front of you. Same family since 1978.

Where we are

On the sand, not near it.

Faros sits at the front of Kardamena's main beach — the first place you reach when you come down to the water. There is no road to cross and no walk to the sea. You step off your sunbed and you are at your table.

We were one of the first restaurants in the village, and we have had this stretch of beach since 1978. That position is the honest reason people come back.

The food

Something for everyone at the table.

We work a lot of fresh fish — sea bass, bream, swordfish, sardines, octopus, grilled whole and simply. Alongside it there is the Greek cooking you would expect, the grill, and pizza, pasta, burgers and a proper kids' menu.

Nothing here pretends to be fine dining. It is a beach restaurant: generous plates, fair prices, and food that arrives while the children are still hungry.

After dark

The beach empties. We stay open.

The kitchen runs until eleven and the bar until midnight. Same tables, same sea — just quieter, and lit.
