The Idea

Arangia — from the Greek νεράτζι and the Italian arancia amara, both names for the bitter orange— is three homes on the island of Kos, in an area full of these trees. Stone walls, the Aegean a few steps away. Built for those who travel slowly.

A botanical plate of the bitter orange: a branch with leaves, white blossom and fruit, and the fruit cut in half. — We took our name from the area around us, which is full of bitter orange trees. Among them you will also find a few old olive trees, like the one at our entrance.

Gallery

The whole house, in passing.

Walls, marble, the shade of old olive trees, the Aegean a few steps away — the wider feeling of the place.

A field guide

We have a presentation of all the island's loveliest places: its beaches, its ancient sites, its villages, its food. Take a look before you come, and pick your own.

The beaches

Οι παραλίες

You'll find beautiful beaches at Kefalos and Mastichari, and all around the island there are quieter ones hidden away, well worth discovering.

Ancient Kos

Αρχαία Κως

Kos is an open-air archaeological museum. You walk through the old town past the ancient agora and Hippocrates' plane tree, and a little higher, in the hills, the Asklepion is waiting.

The tavernas

Οι ταβέρνες

At the taverna we order lots of small plates, put them in the middle of the table and share them, until we're ready to burst.

The pace

Ο ρυθμός

In the afternoon the island falls quiet for its siesta, and before long you do the same. The calm settles in, you unwind, and the clock stops mattering.

How to eat an orange in Kos (properly).

A small ritual, passed down by the grandmothers, involving a knife, a plate, and a particular kind of patience. The peel matters. The juice matters more.

Before the tour buses: the cicadas, the pines, the three terraces of Hippocrates' old sanctuary at first light.

The siesta, defended.

Why the Greek afternoon exists, what it is for, and how to stop feeling guilty about spending two hours of August horizontal.
