Once Paradise Beach was a real paradise, a beautiful beach of fine sand almost always deserted along the coast of the bay of Kefalos.
Word spread and today Paradise Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Kos, but it still retains its natural charm.
While very popular, this well-equipped beach is a far cry from the excesses of the Mykonos beach of the same name, which is famous for its parties and clubs.
This beach of fine golden sand is very popular with families, thanks to the excellent restaurants and bars that line it and the shallow waters that are perfect for children, who can enjoy diving from the large floating platform just steps from the shore.
At the southern end of Paradise Beach is a rocky promontory that plunges into the sea, ideal for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.
The beach is characterized by very cold but very clear water thanks to a volcanic phenomenon that produces bubbles that cool the sea.
Therma, a beach of dark sand and pebbles, is not particularly charming in itself, yet it is one of the major tourist attractions of Kos Island.
The name Therma in Greek means hot and fits very well to the shape of this beach: to make it so interesting for tourists are the sources of hot thermal waters that through an underground channel are mixed with sea water.
At the end of a small beach of black sand and pebbles, using stones, a sort of thermal pool has been created directly in the sea, for a curative and relaxing bath with temperatures ranging between 42 and 50 ° C.
The water coming from the spring is rich in sulfur, potassium, calcium, magnesium and has therapeutic benefits in cases of arthritis, rheumatism and dermatological problems, but you can immerse yourself in the natural spa for the simple pleasure of relaxing!
Therma’s warm waters allow for trouble-free swimming well into late fall.

What makes it particularly suggestive is the presence, just in front of the beach, of theislet of Kastri, an outcrop of rock on which has been built a typical Greek white and blue church.
According to a local custom, the most daring ones reach the islet by swimming, climb on the rocks and ring a small bell which is located at the side of the church.
If a swimming crossing is not for you, you can stay on the beach and admire the ruins of the Christian basilicas, discovered in 1932 by the Italian archaeologist Lorenzi, and decorated with beautiful mosaics.
