Marmari is a seaside resort, 15 kilometres west of Kos Island town (at the northern coast) and 4 kilometres north of the village Pyli. Its long stretch of sandy shore and emerald sea waters are particularly popular, attracting a number of visitors during the summer months for swimming, sunbathing, water sports and even horse riding. Apart from organised beaches with umbrellas, sun beds and water sports facilities, Marmari offers plenty of secluded spots, too, to unwind and breathe in the cool Aegean breeze. Following the few wooden boardwalks through the soft dunes and tamarisk trees, visitors have access to an endless sandy beach, inside out.
