Seaview Retreat on Kos

A stone house with roots that predate 1955, rebuilt and extended through 2025, set on the slopes of Mount Dikeos in the traditional village of Asfendiou on Kos. The original 55 sqm of stonework has been joined by a 41 sqm modern extension, resulting in a single-storey property of 96 sqm that retains its village character while meeting current standards of comfort and efficiency.

The house offers a spacious living/dining area with a fireplace, unfolding over two levels and offering various seating arrangements for dining and entertainment. The separate kitchen is fully equipped, ready for use from the first day. The large bedroom is visually divided into two sleeping zones so the layout can flex for guests or shifting needs. The bathroom is finished with a walk-in shower. Aluminium doors and windows with energy-efficient glazing run throughout, with insect screens fitted as standard. The property is rated Energy Class A, which translates to low running costs, and is fitted with gas central heating.

The outside area of the house occupies 167 sqm and follows the village-house typology. It features a lawn area, but it is mostly paved and includes several spots for relaxation or al-fresco dining. Parking is available directly outside the property on the public road.

The position of the property in the foothills of Mount Dikeos offers open views of the Aegean, with the sea framed by the surrounding olive groves, cypress, and pine that characterise the island's landscape.

Location - distances

Kos sits in the Dodecanese, well established among Western European holiday-home owners for the length of its warm season. The island runs an active holiday calendar from May through October, often stretching from late April into early November, giving owners six to seven usable months on the property each year. Kos International Airport offers direct seasonal flights to and from across Western Europe, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hanover, Munich, Manchester, Vienna, and Zurich, with the strongest links to the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. That combination of long season and direct accessibility is what keeps Kos consistently on the shortlist for international second-home buyers.

Asfendiou sits in the interior of Kos, on the slopes of Mount Dikeos, around 14 km from Kos Town. It is a cluster of small hamlets, including Zia, Evangelistria, Asomatos, Lagoudi, and Haihoutes, with stone-built lanes, a working agricultural rhythm of olive cultivation and viticulture, and a small permanent population that keeps the villages alive outside the holiday months. For buyers wanting an authentic Greek village base rather than a coastal resort, with the beaches still a 10- to 15-minute drive away, Asfendiou is one of the more genuine choices on the island.
