The weather in Kardamena is luxurious thanks to the Mediterranean climate. And unlike the rest of the island, it's the least windy. Even if the 14-day forecast promises bad weather for the whole island, Kardamena is likely to be spared.
Cardamena's weather is characterized by mild winters and moderately hot summers. It is true that in January it can rain for 3, 5 days or a week. But even in rainy weather it is a pleasure to walk around the city. Frosts do not occur here more often than once in a hundred years. The average annual air temperature in Kardamena ranges from +24-30°C, while water temperatures in the Aegean Sea range from +20 to +24°C.
Flora and fauna of Cardamena
The island of Kos is often referred to as the "Garden of the Aegean" - so diverse is its flora and fauna. There are pine forests, olive groves, flower valleys, orchards and natural reserve parks. It is the same story with Cardamena. There are more than 200 plant species alone.
The most common fauna in Cardamena are pink flamingos and Caretta Caretta sea turtles, which are on the WWF's endangered species list. And if you go higher up the mountain, you might spot a pair of ibex.
