Guide to Kos

map

If you are seeking the Greece of olive groves, rural life and traditional villages then Kos delivers. Birth place of Hippocrates, the island is home to a host of ancient ruins and historic stories. It is also, however, a thriving tourist hotspot with many large scale developments and all-in complexes. As it is the second largest in the Dodecanese group of islands, it’s easy to discover the side of Kos which most appeals. Water sports, sunbathing and bars contrast against historic villages, scenic coves and hiking trails. The vast array of beaches range from the secluded to the sun-bed clad, and the island thus caters for a variety of different travellers. 

 
Kos airport is located at Andimahia in the centre of the island. From there, many travel to Kos Town on the east of the island, or to the resort of Kamari in the west.
