Tigkaki is located 11 kilometers west of the city and no wonder it is one of the most popular touristic resorts of Kos, as its beautiful, clean water beach is often awarded the blue flag and its recent development enables it to provide more services to the visitors. Tourist shops, cafés, traditional and fast food restaurants are multiplied every year. The sandy beach with the shallow waters is perfect for families and windsurfers, when the weather is suitable.
