The Aegean is thought to be one of the top sailing regions in the world with numerous anchorages and natural harbours, important historical monuments and heavenly waters. Kos is a great starting point, as it is literally in the centre of the Dodecanese. Apart from the recently refurbished airport and port facilities, Kos Marina, in the historical centre of the island, is the ideal starting point to chart unique sea routes, both around the island of Kos and to neighbouring, small or large, dream-like islands.
Boasting easy access, comprehensive and personalized high-end services, supporting facilities, a commercial zone with 20 shops, a fuel station and beautiful atmosphere, the island’s Marina has emerged as one of the leading marinas in the Mediterranean, hosting 5,000 – 6,000 boats annually.

Each jetty is secure and protected by electric sliding gates, while access is only allowed with the use of a special entry card, which you will get at the marina offices. Some notable features are the brand new permanent moorings and the sheltered alongside moorings suitable for larger vessels. Additional berths given to the marina as an extension, can be found at the port of Mandraki. On the south side of the port of Kos, Mandraki offers 80 additional berths for boats up to 70m, where electricity and water are available at modern pillars. The area also features a reception desk, linemen and night security.

Accessible and inclusive, the marina of Kos is the place where you will meet exciting people and relish an ingenious variety of breakfast, brunch, even dinner options in a relaxed and carefree environment in the most beautiful part of the city with a magnificent view of the Aegean.
Since 2001, Kos Marina has been uninterruptedly awarded the Blue Flag, one of the most important awards in the world for beaches and marinas that promote sustainability and guarantee clean waters, clean shores, safety and access for all. After all, sustainability is one of the key principles that the marina adheres to.

An ideal solution is to rent a boat in Kos Marina and start exploring by boat, especially on the southern coastline, where 1/3 of the expanse is covered by beaches.
