Lambi Beach is the most popular, attracting thousands of tourists thanks to its facilities and close proximity of the town. If you fancy travelling further afield, Kos boasts many remote but breathtaking beaches, such as Limnionas and Agios Theologos on the South coast.

You’ll find a day trip to Turkey is a great excursion. The ancient city made for exploring is the resort of Bodrum, a 20 minute trip away, is also a popular day excursion. Or stay on the island and spend a day roaming the mountain villages of Agios Dimitrios, Lagoudi, Zia and Zipari – hire a bike and pack a picnic, or sample the real flavour of Greece and go local.

giving the humble holidaymaker a rare insight into the island’s history are the ancient structures that Kos boasts. The acclaimed Hippocrates Plane Treet on Plateia Platanou, where, according to local tradition, the ancient Physician taught his pupils; the mosaics at the House of Europa and the Roman Nymphaeum, along with the Ancient Agora are must-sees too. Also of extreme significance to the island is the Asklipieion, where the remains of a leading Greek medical school offer information about how important Kos was in the world of medicine nearly 2,500 years ago.

And at night, the island really comes alive! Beach bars, Greek dancing, live music and discos are all for the taking along with delicious cuisine and wine in local tavernas. With secluded restaurants, chilled out bars and more, the seafront offers a quieter alternative to this nightlife.
