Kos Aktis Art Hotel

Kos Town


Aktis' beautiful hotels are scattered across the Dodecanese and its representative here in Kos is stunning. Bedrooms are minimalist affairs of glass, light and wood. The view of the Aegean and, by night, Bodrum glittering like a giant chandelier, is romantic. There's a gym, fine restaurant and bar. Prices vary significantly according to supply and demand and season.
