Mythos apartments are ideally located very close to the beach and with all amenities on your doorstep, but there is no problem with noise as you are set back from the road and Tingaki is pretty quiet anyway. Points lost because the toilet bin wasn't emptied every day, which was a bit grim, and there was only one channel on the telly - Sky News. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. However, cooking in the tiny kitchenette was a logistical nightmare! You're better off eating out, it's cheap enough and the food is fresh and tasty.



I found the staff at Mythos courteous and helpful rather than friendly, as other reviewers have said. Great holiday overall, you can go on loads of trips and Kos Town is just a short bus ride away, the scenery and beach are fabulous, and the locals are lovely. I can't wait to go back.

Fantastic complex, ideal for...

Fantastic complex, ideal for people who want a quiet base with ease to a lively evening (Kos town) plenty of bars and restaurants within a stone’s throw.



The restaurant on site is fab, great food and reduction for complex guests. lovely patio area around the pool, which can get a bit busy during school holidays with kids, but would not let that put you off.



A couple minutes walk to the fab beach, has a constant breeze which is great on those hot days. the views from the beach is stunning, overlooks Turkey and look towards the town and you get views of the town and the mountains.



Ideal resort to get into Kos Town, buses run throughout the day approx 1.5euros each way or 12 Euros in a taxi. the harbour in Kos Town is big and the sunsets are amazing -well worth a visit early evening.



Loads of excursions from Tingaki- boat trips, Turkey, Island Tour etc all good value for money.



Really clean accommodation, great staff - family run, would def go back again !!

We 1st visited the Mythos apartments in May 2005 on a 'late deal'.



My partner and I had such a fantastic time, we returned in May 2006 and are on our way back with 8 members of our family and friends in May 2007. Sound a bit boring?



My partner is self-employed so we only get 1 week’s holiday, we just know our week at the Mythos will be enjoyable and relaxing.



I too cannot praise George and his staff enough, and all of the bars and restaurants close by are fantastic. It really is a fantastic resort and am now getting excited about my 3rd trip back! - The extension sounds interesting.



I would recommend using the travel shop opposite the apartments as they are by far cheaper than the tour operators and just as well organised.



Hiring a quad from Nikos is also reasonable and really enjoyable - I think last year we toured the whole island on a quad bike - gives a fantastic insight to the island and a great tan!



Just as someone else has mentioned - if you are thinking about booking STOP hesitating and DO IT!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. I agree with everyone’s comments on here, and will definitely be returning to Mythos apartments again.



Hope bill decides to stay; he made our holiday even more enjoyable with his party tricks etc.



Tingaki is the perfect resort for all families, the beach is so near and the water warm and clear. Donuts and fresh fruit daily from the locals.



The choice of food is excellent, you've no need to go elsewhere.

A fabulous holiday we had...

A fabulous holiday we had staying at the Mythos apartments, George the manager and his staff cannot do enough for you from start to finish. The apartments were clean, spacious and ideally situated close to the wonderful clean beach with its white sand and clear sea which is very safe for bathing, you can walk out about three hundred yards and still have your shoulders above the water.



Back to the apartments one drawback was the very meagre self catering facilities, ie-No toasters or micros just a hob which took an age for warming up, but then you don’t need to cook when you’ve got the great restaurant attached to your complex which seems to attract tourists from everywhere to come and eat in the evenings. Freshly cooked and served with smiling faces, a great atmosphere and great tasting variety of foods. A maid service cleans your rooms six times a week with fresh bed linen twice.



A reasonable sized pool with around 50 sun beds and a kiddies pool. A bar which serves snacks through the day is also available to you. The apartments are on a main street with many shops of all types and also several supermarkets. George has had a new extension built which should open in the 2007 season which will sleep parties of six where also there will be a gym and Jacuzzi, he's also planning to widen the pool and have a separate kiddies pool with more room for everything.



We visited Kos town while we were there, looking around the old ruins (castle) hypocrites tree, and museum and harbour, a good day out. I for one would highly recommend this place to stay for a great holiday and enjoyable experience, and on the day of our departure I asked a few of the new arrivals had they been here before in which they had which I can I say I will be doing for certain next year.

Superb place to stay, highly...

Superb place to stay, highly recommended. George the owner and all his staff make you feel very welcome and do everything to please and make your holiday a great one. The restaurant attached to the complex is very popular and people from all over the resort come there to eat. Freshly cooked meals and smiling faces make it very enjoyable place to dine. The pool is not a large one but is kept clean and around fifty sunloungers surround the pool so threes no fight to get one! The cleaning staff do a good job, and call every day except Sunday. One drawback was that the self catering facilities were a bit meagre, i.e. no toaster or microwave, but then with the lovely food in the restaurant there’s no worry there. George has a new attachment been built there which will sleep parties of six, also there will be a Jacuzzi and gym so I am told, with pool being extended. All in all a fab holiday there and we will definitely visit again. Five stars come from me, great place.

The apartments were lovely pool was good to, everything was on the front door we ate in different restaurants every evening I have been to a lot of places but this one was exceptional, the airport going home was horrendous, if anybody is thinking about booking to go to the mythos apartments don’t hesitate go on book it you wont be sorry.

Well 1st trip to Kos and what an amazing place! Stayed at the Mythos apartments (self catering) and its fantastic - I cannot sing enough praises about this place.



Staff are great and your in for a treat will Bill (yeah I know not very Greek, but he's Canadian born Greek!) the barman - just don’t let him sign! Pool is cleaned every night, food is amazing at the restaurant and the snack bar is good too.



Place is spotless, views are great and you can go anywhere from Tingaki - we went to Nisyross and Rhodes - easily done from the street vendors and cheaper than the tour rep prices!



Self Catering - place is so good we eat out every night (and breakfast and lunch!) food is great and very cheap. Do yourself a favor and go! I'd go back in a sec! 10 outta 10



P.S the bugs either like you or they don’t :))))

If you have young children Tingaki is quiet and safe. It is really made up of one main road full of enough bars, restaurants, gifts shops, local excursion agents, for enough choice but not too noisy.



The road leads down to the beach, where there is a mini roundabout, left of these is a few more bars and restaurants close to the beach. right is a long walk past accommodation, a few bars and restaurants, towards Kos Town. It’s a very long road, but Mythos Apartments is near the beach end, about 2 minutes away, and you only have to cross one road to get to the beach.



At the other end of the main road is a fairly large supermarket. It is worth walking from the top of the road to the beach even though it’s a long way as you’ll be able to see what is there, I would suggest doing this as early into the holiday as possible, the beach is very sandy and the sea is quite shallow for a long way out so that’s good for children.



Excursions are cheaper from main road vendors, all the excursions we went on were good, the island is small so you can get to see most of it on one or two excursions. Greek night at Zia was a good excursion, and the trip round half-a-dozen island villages was also good. You can see Turkey from Tingaki, you can get a boat over to Bodrum, or the island of Kalymnos which was good although the meal we had over there was the worst of the holiday.



The apartments were clean the pool was good, there was a bar with snacks near the pool and a restaurant behind this. The staff were friendly. It seemed to be mainly British people that stayed at the apartments.



Probably the best place I have been. Just a shame about the night flights from the UK. The airport is tiny and a bit of a pain.
