Beach overall scores
Agios Stefanos (South Aegean) is located outside the Onia settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Kos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Agios Stefanos with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach offers of a serene and shallow environment, perfect for a relaxing swim to the nearby island. However, due to the limited availability of sunbeds, it is advisable to arrive before 10 am to secure a spot. Failure to do so may result in a long walk to the other end of the beach."

"The beach was absolutely stunning. The water was crystal clear, inviting and perfect for a refreshing swim. What's more, you could even swim to the nearby island. The cost of a sunshade was reasonable at 5 Euros per day, and in my opinion, it was worth it. Overall, this beach is one of the top spots to visit in Kos."
