What travellers are saying
- Crystal CNewcastle upon Tyne, UK56 contributionsWe found this one from talking to the local shop keeper it really is amazing. The car park is literally 2 steps away from the beach so we left our picnic in the car . The sand on the beach is so soft and white. We stayed for a little while and enjoyed our picnic on the wooden platform. As we sat there several horse treks passed by us with other holiday makers on which was lovely to see.
We did travel over to the salt lake beside here but there wasnt any flamingos there.Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark PIsle of Wight46 contributionsWe went to the beach late season as a stop-off when we hired a car. The carparks at the top of the track leading to the beach were still very busy and the state of the parings areas themselves meant that we had to be very careful not to damage the car. We certainly would not have entertained driving down the track to the lower parking area, although some had. The beach and thermal pool was quite busy but not unpleasantly so, facilities were limited however. The heat of the pool was surprising and we really enjoyed our short visit. The goats are interesting entertainment too!Written 30 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ben F24 contributionsWe had a wonderful experience at Paradise Beach during our stay in Kos, visiting twice because we enjoyed it so much. There is plenty of parking available, and we never had an issue finding sun loungers. On our first visit, we arrived around 10 am and it was pleasantly quiet. The second time, we came in the afternoon at around 2 pm, and despite the later hour, there were still plenty of beds available.
The water is crystal clear with gentle waves, making it a relaxing spot for a swim. Though the water is a bit cool at first, you quickly get used to it once submerged. If you’re worried about fish, there’s no need—while you may spot a few, they tend to swim away once you’re in the water.
Sun loungers are reasonably priced at €15 for two, and we didn’t mind paying for such a well-maintained beach.
There’s also a great restaurant on-site. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming during both of our visits, offering fast service. The gyros were fantastic, and we highly recommend trying them.
Overall, Paradise Beach is well worth a visit if you’re in Kos! A perfect spot for a day of sun and sea.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michelle LewisBirmingham, UK4 contributionsA very nice beach with clear demarcation where the nude section begins. My sister and I felt totally comfortable being nude there as two women in our 30s and no one bothered us, these was no one taking photos etc. We went twice during our stay, it wasn't very busy either time. The parking is right at the beginning of the beach and is free.
I'm sad to hear of the discrimination experienced by the people who rent the sun loungers, but we went further along the beach and just lay on towels right by the waters edge. There are some dunes at the back of the beach but as I found out, it's a bit stony going across so would recommend wearing Crocs or similar. I didn't explore the dunes much, only went up there to have a wee when I didn't want to go in the sea.
Overall would highly recommend.Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew B1 contributionExcellent waterpark, abundance of different slides and probably the best on the island. Had a great time with the kids (11 & 13).

- Paul26 contributionsLovely beach with great sand and easy access to the clear sea. The “Ria’s Beach” section (western part of the beach) is beautifully quiet and peaceful. Very natural - with a lovely, simple, Greek Taverna behind it (Sunset), with friendly service and one of the best doradas I’ve eaten anywhere in the worldWritten 6 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KarenSomersham, UK14 contributionsNB wear suitable shoes for some very steep pathways and slippery stone. Take water because there are no shops. Absolutely beautiful place. Phenomenal that it was built and staffed all the way up there! Part destroyed in earthquake, rebuilt by Knights of St John. Now a herd of goats with bells clamber up and down. A lovely afternoon spent there, and there is a cafe right at the top 😃
