Kardamena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kardamena (Greek: Καρδάμαινα), is a small town 7km from Kos airport at Antimacheia, situated mid-way along the south coast of Kos, in the Dodecanese. Once a small fishing village, it has emerged as one of the most popular summer destinations, especially for British tourists, over the past two decades, offering scores of pubs and restaurants, bars and night clubs and watersports facilities.
[edit] History
Kardamena is built on the site of the ancient settlement of Alasarna. Archaeological excavations have brought to light a temple of Apollo, an extensive Early Christian settlement (among the very few known in Greece), with four basilicas. Many stone objects of everyday use (millstones, tools, vases, vessels etc.), mostly made of volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been recovered.
