Where is Kos Marina?<\/h2>\n
The map shows Kos Marina on the eastern edge of Kos town, on Georgiou Papandreou coastal road. It's about 1.4 kilometres as the crow flies west to Mandraki town harbour and the old town, and about 22 kilometres southwest to the airport.<\/p>\n
The marina has six pontoons and around 250 berths for yachts from 8 to 80 metres in length, plus dry storage for up to 150 boats.<\/p>\n
For clarity: Kos town harbour is called Mandraki and lies in the centre of town. That's where the ferries from Piraeus and the catamarans to neighbouring islands berth; there are also around 100 further berths for yachts there. The Knights' castle stands at the entrance to the town harbour. This article is about Kos Marina; most information on getting there and going ashore, however, applies to both harbours.<\/p>\n
Arriving for trip departure at Kos Marina<\/h2>\n
From the airport to the marina a taxi is most convenient; the bus is cheaper but terminates in the town. If you arrive by ferry, you'll dock at Mandraki town harbour.<\/p>\n
From Kos airport to the marina<\/h3>\n
Kos \"Hippokrates\" Airport lies near Antimachia in the centre of the island, approximately 23.5 kilometres from Kos town. From May to October there are daily flights from many European cities; year-round connections to Athens operate, up to three times a day in summer. The flight from Athens takes about 35 minutes.<\/p>\n
By taxi you'll reach the marina in about half an hour. Tell the driver \"Kos Marina\" so they don't drop you at the town harbour. You can book a taxi through the taxi centre on +30 22420 22777 or +30 22420 23333.<\/p>\n
The bus run by the intercity line KTEL Kos is cheaper. The bus stop is about 50 metres in front of the terminal; you buy your ticket from the driver. The journey into town costs 4 euros (as of October 2026). The timetable changes with the season. In the off-season only a few buses run on weekdays, often none on Sundays. The bus stops at the central stop on Kleopatras Street. From there it's still about two kilometres to the marina; with luggage it's better to take a taxi.<\/p>\n
By bus, taxi or ferry<\/h3>\n
Daily ferries run to Kos from Piraeus, the port of Athens. Catamarans connect Kos daily with Rhodes, Kalymnos, Leros, Patmos, Leipsoi and Symi, more frequently in spring and summer than in winter. All ferries dock at Mandraki town harbour. From there you can walk along the waterfront promenade eastwards to the marina, about 1.5 kilometres, or take a taxi. Taxis wait on the waterfront road Akti Kountouriotou by the town harbour.<\/p>\n
Town buses run within the town and to the suburbs, for example to Psalidi, Agios Fokas and Platani. There are many car, scooter and bicycle hire outlets on the island.<\/p>\n
