Find your perfect holiday in Kos

Kos has a rich past that you can see all over the island. From ancient Greek and Roman buildings to Byzantine churches and Ottoman influences. In Kos Town, you will find the famous Plane Tree of Hippocrates, where, according to tradition, the father of Western medicine taught his students. Walk through the old streets and discover historic monuments that reflect the many civilizations that shaped the island. Just outside the town lies the Asklepieion, the most important archaeological site on Kos and one of the most famous ancient healing centres. From this impressive location, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the island and the coastline. 

Kos is the perfect destination for a holiday full of sun and relaxation. With 112 kilometres of coastline, there is always a beautiful place to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the clear blue water. Along the coast you will find wide sandy beaches, quiet bays, and lively swimming spots, so there is something for everyone. Popular beaches include Marmari, Tigaki, and Kefalos. For something special, you can also visit the Embrós Thermes on the southern coast, where warm natural spring water flows into the sea and you can enjoy a natural hot bath with sea views. 

Kos is a great choice for an active holiday where nature and adventure go hand in hand. At Camel Beach, you can snorkel in calm, crystal-clear waters and spot colourful marine life in a sheltered bay. Over at Kefalos Bay, steady winds and open waters create ideal conditions for windsurfing, while still offering plenty of space for swimming and other water activities. The island is also perfect to explore by bike, with scenic routes that lead you along the coastline and through traditional villages, passing beaches and historical sites such as the Asklepieion.
