The Water Mill Cottage

The restored stone watermill above Zia village keeps its original grinding wheel and timber beams as fixed features against a simple three-star interior of whitewashed walls. Lagoudi Zia's terraced hillside setting on Kos means the property overlooks olive groves rather than a paved street, a quiet base for families and couples avoiding the coastal resort strips.

Rooms are family-configured with free Wi-Fi throughout. Zia village itself, known island-wide for sunset tavernas facing Mount Dikeos, sits a short walk uphill, while Kos Town and its harbor lie roughly a twenty-minute drive south.
