Kos belongs to the Dodecanese archipelago, which is located in the southeast of Greece. With 112 kilometres of coastline, you will never be far from a lovely sandy beach. The most beautiful beaches are located near the towns of Marmari, Tigaki and Kefalos. Prefer warmer water? Then travel south to the Embrós thermal springs. A soak in this 40°C-hot spring will make you feel reborn. With a rental car you can easily access all these locations. But did you know that many routes on Kos are perfect for cycling? Water sports enthusiasts will find perfect windsurfing conditions in the bay of Kefalos.
Kos is also the right place for cultural and historical highlights. The island has a rich past that can be seen all around you. From Greek and Roman buildings to Byzantine and Turkish remains: Kos is one big open-air museum. In the city of Kos, walk over the walls of the St. John's Castle and look at Hippocrates’ plane tree. It was this ancient tree that Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine, taught his students. Just north of Kos town is the Asklepieion. A popular health resort in ancient times, this is now the most important archaeological site on the whole island. Prefer to explore modern Greek culture? Then head to the mountain village of Zía. Here, you can enjoy delicious food and a beautiful view of the surroundings.
Curious about life on the nearby islands? From Kos town, you can take the boat to other beautiful islands such as Kalymnos and the volcanic island of Nisyros. The large crater is an impressive sight. Or take a day trip to Bodrum in Turkey. Spend some time shopping and soak up the atmosphere at one of the many charming outdoor cafés. Still have energy after you get back? Then dive into the nightlife of Kos-town. Enjoy a drink at sunset or party the night away at the lively bars and clubs. On Kos you have all the time in the world to have fun.
