Our Location
Agios Dimitrios (Άγιος Δημήτριος) is an old settlement in the inner side of Kos, in a wonderful natural landscape with a fantastic view of the sea. The old name of this village is Chaihoutes (pronounced: hi-hoo-tess) and this where Chaihoutes Residences got its name. A visit to the village of Agios Dimitrios is a thrilling experience, a real journey through time and living history. The village was abandoned by its inhabitants in the decades after the second world war and gradually it was transformed into a real time capsule where time had stopped. Recently, some of the old houses and the local cafe have been restored in an excellent way with respect for tradition and are being used again. The local cafe is one of the best and most well-known restaurants on the island; it offers a wide variety of local delicacies and drinks and frequently organizes live music events and evenings.
Agios Dimitrios and Chaihoutes Residences offer to their guests a unique opportunity to enjoy the Mediterranean summer in a truly unique place, in the heart of the Greek nature, not very far away from the wonderful Kos beaches and other local attractions, and taste the Greek cuisine at its best in one of the restaurants of the area.
To enjoy your stay at Chaihoutes Residences and make the most out of it, we strongly recommend that you come by car as there are no local means of transportation. Accessing Chaihoutes Residences from Kos town is easy via the main road that leads from the famous archaeological site of Asclepio to Mt. Dikaios, the highest mountain of the island. From Agios Dimitrios, one can easily reach the top of Mount Dikaios, while other traditional more touristic villages such as Zia and Asfendiou are few km away.
