LAMPI
LAMPI beach lies across the headland to the west of Kos town within bus, cycling or even walking distance, though dogging the traffic – mostly bikes – can be a headache.
The sands have become more and more popular as people try to escape the crowded beaches of the island capital, thus defeating their principal attraction. The beach is a fine one though, long and sandy and shelving gently enough to make it safe with children.
It used to be occupied by the military but the Greek army has long lost the battle with the tour operators.
