A family story
Born by the water.Raised in Kos.
More than a place.A way of welcoming people.
Papas Beach and Papas Yachting share one beginning: a family, a stretch of Kos shoreline and the belief that the sea should feel personal.
The Papas story began on the Kos shoreline in the early 1990s as a family-run watersports operation. The work was practical and personal: know the water, look after every guest and make a day by the sea feel effortless.
Over more than three decades, that same shoreline grew into Papas Beach, a day-to-night meeting place for sunbeds, food, cocktails, watersports and time together, and Papas Yachting, carrying the welcome beyond the beach and into the Aegean.

The water first
A family-run watersports base takes shape on the Kos coast, grounded in qualified instruction, safety and the kind of welcome that turns first-time guests into familiar faces.
A shoreline home
The beach becomes a full-day experience: beachfront seating and bungalows, food and drinks, music, watersports and service that lets guests settle in without watching the clock.
The islands open up
The same knowledge moves offshore. From Kos Harbour and Papas Beach, guests can take the helm with a licence or let a local skipper guide the day.
