We stayed at Apollon between 14th to 21st October and had a wonderful time. We were worried that things would be closed in the area, however we didn’t actually have any issues as things were only starting to wind down towards the end of our stay. Mylos beach bar closed on the 16th but that meant the beach was more spacious. Below are the many pros and small amount of cons we found during our stay at Apollon. Pros: - Location The hotel is located right by the beach and a short walk to Kos Town. The area felt safe and friendly. You can catch a beautiful sunset from the beach just 5/10 mins away. - Nearby facilities/entertainment The hotel itself has a relaxed feel, but right outside there is a sports bar Smugglers, bike and car hire, trip booking shops and a bus stop. There are many lovely bars and restaurants (we really recommend Alibaba beach bar and Istros) as well as supermarkets (Konstantinos was the best close by). Kos Town has plenty of things to look and do too, just a short walk from Lambi. - Food and Drink The restaurant as a whole was fantastic and as a veggie I only struggled to find something to eat on one night. The pizza was delicious! Breakfast was okay and did the job nicely. The drinks at the bar were strong depending on who served us and the choice is good. Examples of drinks: love on the beach, beer, amaretto, schnapps, vodka, juices, wine, ouzo etc). The dress code was really relaxed which for us is a bonus (shorts and t shirts for dinner was fine). In the evening the bar area was nice and peaceful and queues weren’t long. - Cats! As a cat lover it was like heaven. There are lots of cats in the area. All the cats we came into contact with were super friendly and well looked after which was lovely to see. If you don’t like cats, Kos in general probably isn’t for you as they are literally everywhere on the island. Cons: - Snack bar The snack bar isn’t really a snack bar and is more a tray of small sandwiches and slices of cake. It would be amazing if the pizza or other options could be on offer as a poolside snack in the future. - Lunch basket We requested a lunch basket to take out. Sadly it was just a small roll with half a slice of cheese and 1 lettuce leaf, 2 plums and a bottle of water. If you are going out for the day on a trip, it may be better walking to Konstantinos shop to buy some snacks. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and we would love to come again! Thank you to all the amazing staff during our stay.
