3* Continental Palace
In Psalidi, Kos, South Aegean Islands, Greece
The Continental Palace cuts a stylish silhouette – it’s made up of two huge white blocks which stagger towards the coast, pointing you in the direction of a pint-sized beach that's a hit with locals.
You’re in a first-rate location here – a beach is right outside, and it’s just a short walk to the buzz of Kos Town. This lively capital’s full of ancient ruins, old columns and bits of temples. And when you’re not exploring, you can tuck into local dishes at cosy tavernas – like meze, octopus balls, and the island’s own goat’s cheese, Posas.
This place is surrounded by tree-decked gardens, with a large pool at the centre. Plus, you’re in the money bar-wise – this hotel’s got two.
A TUI rep will make visits to your hotel. Holidays here also come with 24/7 support on the TUI app and by phone. Find out more about our service while you're away.

Location
Psalidi is a small, modern resort on the east coast of Kos. It’s so close to the capital, Kos Town, that it could almost be classed as a suburb. Even with some of the island’s most exclusive hotels lined up along its unspoilt seafront, it’s still a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it place, making it ideal to really recharge your batteries.
