Nothing is too much trouble at the delightful Afendoulis, where Alexis and his family run the most hospitable 'ship' in the Dodecanese. Sure, there may be plusher hotels in Kos, but none with the soul of this place. Expect clean rooms with small balconies, a homely lounge area (the focus of chatter and inspiration), and memorable breakfasts with homemade jams.
In summer, it's delightful to eat or sit outside on the pretty garden terrace. They'll also help with transport, activity planning and well, treat you like a true guest.
