The island offers a pleasant mix of lazy beach days‚ walking routes‚ small markets‚ and homely tavernas‚ making it especially suitable for families‚ couples‚ and friends seeking the sea‚ nature‚ and a classic Greek atmosphere.
Kos lies in the Dodecanese island group‚ not far from the Turkish coast‚ and is known for its mild climate‚ long beaches‚ and sites connected with Hippocrates‚ the father of medicine. The west and south of the island offer quiet villages and sheltered coves‚ while around Kos Town you will find a promenade‚ harbor‚ shops‚ and nightlife. Thanks to the good roads and relatively short distances‚ it is very easy to take day trips and combine beaches‚ villages‚ and mountains in one stay.
An island that manages to combine ancient history with wide beaches and an atmosphere of true freedom. In Kos you can cycle along the flat coastline‚ explore the impressive remains of the Asklepion and end the day in the lively port or in one of the mountain villages that offer a perfect view of the sunset. This is the destination for those looking for a varied holiday
Kos is known as the "bicycle island." Thanks to its relatively flat terrain‚ you'll find an excellent bike network along the beaches and within the city
To get out of the tourist areas and reach more remote beaches‚ it is recommended to rent a car or buggy‚ which is very suitable for the island's roads.
The local bus system is efficient and connects Kos Town to the main villages. The town itself has a small "tourist train" that runs between the main tourist sites and the port.
Lido Water Park‚ located about 25 km from Kos Town‚ is considered one of the largest and most enjoyable water parks in Greece‚ spanning around 75‚000 square meters. The park features a wide range of high‑speed slides‚ a wave pool‚ lazy river‚ relaxation pools‚ Jacuzzis‚ and a large‚ well‑designed kids’ area with smaller slides‚ tipping buckets‚ and water games. On site‚ you will also find restaurants‚ cafés‚ bars‚ sports facilities‚ sunshades‚ and loungers‚ making it suitable for all ages.
Kos’s healing hot springs are located at Therma Beach‚ about 13 km from Kos Town‚ and are among the island’s most unique natural sites. Here‚ mineral‑rich hot springs containing sulphur‚ calcium‚ and magnesium bubble up into a small natural pool on the shoreline‚ where the hot water mixes with the cooler sea. Soaking in the hot pool‚ with the dark sand and volcanic landscape in the background‚ is considered a relaxing experience with various benefits for skin and joints. The springs can get very hot (up to about 42 degrees)‚ so it is best to enter gradually and alternate between the hot water and the cooler sea.
Kefalos is a charming village at the western tip of Kos‚ built on a hill overlooking a deep‑blue bay and the little church on the nearby islet of Kastri. The village is divided into two parts: the upper section‚ a typical Greek settlement with narrow lanes‚ whitewashed houses‚ and a central square with a windmill; and the lower‚ seafront strip‚ where you will find tavernas‚ cafés‚ and hotels. Around Kefalos‚ you can enjoy beautiful beaches with clear water and water sports‚ and from here you can take short trips to Kastri island as well as visit local caves and archaeological sites. Be sure to try the village’s fresh fish dishes and desserts based on local honey – they already have quite the reputation across Greece.
The island comes alive with spectacular blooms and perfect weather for bike rides and tours of archaeological sites.
The sky is always blue‚ the water is the perfect temperature for swimming and the nightlife is at its peak. This is the ideal time for sun lovers‚ active beaches and water sports.
The sea is still warm from summer‚ the temperatures outside are becoming more pleasant and the crowds are decreasing. A great time to combine a belly-stomach workout with leisurely walks on the island.
Most of the tourism and hotel businesses on the coastline go on vacation‚ and the island becomes a very quiet and authentic place.
