Pyli Village - Kos Island

Pyli is located 15 kilometers south-west of Kos town and about 4 kilometers south of Marmari, and has 2.500 permanent residents. In the past its name was “Peli” and it is built in the centre of the island in verdurous lowland with big olive trees and lots of green. The beautiful traditionally built stone houses, counting a few hundreds, surround the central square along with the traditional coffeehouses and the small taverns complete Pyli’s daily life. Here you can find the Pyliotiko Spiti (Pyli’s House) an old house with three rooms, where the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom are still preserved just as they were in the past, with original furniture and little things, as left by its owners 70 years ago. At a distance of 100 meters from the house there is a spring of cool water, flowing from 6 fountains and right beside the spring, you will see the ancient vaults, which, according to tradition, are related to the local hero of the island. Right next to the small church Stavros (Holy Cross) stands the impressive Charmilion, a complex of burials dated to the Hellenistic period and also related to the worship of the local hero and his descendants. 2 kilometers before arriving to Pyli, there is a small artificial lake, which is used to water the plains’ cultivations.
