Kardamena is a beautiful coastal village about 30km from the city of Kos and just 6 km from the airport.
Ancient Alassarna, one of the six ancient cities of the island, was an important religious center of the times, as testified by the ruins of temple of Apollo and other, smaller temples of the ancient and Byzantine periods. For the past 30 years or so, every summer systematic excavations by the University of Athens take place. Neolithic, geometric and classic era remnants indicate, consistent habitation of the area which flourished during the Hellenistic period and retained it’s vigor in the Roman and early Christian eras.
