Tingaki Offers

A Tingaki holiday will find you about 10 km from Kos Town on the north coast of the island. The resort is fantastic for young children with a beautiful, long sandy beach, the waters of which remain shallow for a long way out, and restaurants that strive to accommodate families large and small alike. Those of the more athletic breed of beach enthusiasts may be interested in the very popular windsurfing facilities, amongst other watersports that are on offer. Tingaki has a relatively quiet nightlife but anyone looking to get their dancing shoes on can always take advantage of the town's great transport links with Kos Town and other neighboring resorts that can provide the cure for itching club feet.
