Mare Blue Apartments

The really helpful and friendly Eleni owns these apartments. They are set in beautiful gardens and from the balcony of some of these you get a view to the sea. Apartments are simple but very comfortable, homely and spacious. There is also air conditioning. Highly recommended for the friendly service, quiet area but still close enough to walk to Kos Town. The area of Lambi has a could of relaxed beaches with pleasant bars set back under shaded trees.

Just a few steps from the beach and not far from the main town of Kos. It offers basic comfort at moderate prices. Ideal solution if you are driving a car and need to be out of the most touristic venues.

The Mare Blue is an older building, about a mile from the town centre in Lampi area, a block away from the beach but there are some sea views, restaurants, shops and other hotels around. It has nice natural gardens, although more maintenance in the off-season would be an advantage. We found the owner, Eleni, very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a 2-bed family apartment, space was tight in the kitchen so the large balcony was used as a sitting / eating area - which suited us fine but could be a problem for rainy days. The apartment was clean but basically equipped and the furniture is a bit tired eg the curtains and tv didn't work well, although the beds are comfortable and there is cupboard space. The shower room was basic but spacious and clean with plenty of hot water most days (solar). Wifi is a problem with only one area on the downstairs patio where you can get a food signal. No aircon, so it may be very hot in the summer on the balconies but this is not an issue at cooler times of the year. Overall, we found it reasonably priced and it suited our needs as we were working different 24 hour volunteer shifts.
