About Tigkaki

A village that still
feels like Greece

Nestled in the charming village of Tigkaki on the western coast of Kos, Stella's Holiday Houses sit just a short walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Tigkaki beach stretches for kilometres of soft golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise water — yet the village itself remains wonderfully quiet and unspoiled.

No busy resorts, no noise — just the sound of the sea, the scent of jasmine, and the warmth of the Greek sun.

Why Tigkaki

The right kind of place

🏖

One of Kos's most beautiful beaches

Tigkaki beach is consistently ranked among the finest in Greece — wide, long, and lined with powdery sand. The water is shallow enough to walk far out, making it perfect for families and relaxed swimmers alike.

🌿

Quiet village, away from tourist crowds

Unlike the busy resort towns further along the coast, Tigkaki has kept its authentic Greek village character. Small streets, local tavernas, bougainvillea over the doorways. No nightclubs. No noise.

🗺

Perfect base to explore the whole island

Kos is long and narrow — from Tigkaki you can reach any part of it comfortably in under an hour. The ancient ruins of Asklepion, the mountain villages, the thermal springs — all within easy reach.
