Introducing Kos

With ancient Greek archaeological ruins, charming villages, pretty beaches, glistening waters and abundant fresh seafood, Kos has plenty to offer. If you’re seeking culture, then the ruins of the Askleipion are a must-visit. You’re blessed with choice when it comes to beaches and the island’s water sports offering is second to none. Head to Kos Town for historic sites such as the Archaeological Museum or the 14th-century Neratzia Castle, built by the Knights of St John. The fast-paced nightlife of Kardamena is the liveliest spot on the island, while the town of Kefalos has a more laidback vibe.

Top six things to do in Kos:

1. Kick back on the coast

One of the island’s biggest draws is its long coastline. From white-sand beaches to thermal rock pools, this Greek island has it all. Culture vultures should head to Agios Stefanos and combine a day at the beach with learning about local history at the nearby ruins. Nature lovers can go to Therma Beach at Agios Fokas and experience its natural sea pool, warmed by hot springs. Paradise Beach, meanwhile, is a firm family favourite and more than lives up to its name. Spend a day relaxing under the sun or take a dip in shallow waters with volcanic bubbles that rise from the seabed.

2. Try your hand at some water activities

There are plenty of water activities to enjoy in Kos, from snorkelling in sheltered coves to scuba diving and paddleboarding. The windy conditions at Kefalos Bay and Mastichari are for windsurfing and are full of equipment hire companies and windsurf schools. For something a little more relaxed, join a sunset cruise and admire the coastline from the water.

3. Visit ancient Greek ruins

The long history of Kos is evident in almost every part of the island. Asklepieion, only 10 minutes' drive from Kos Town, is the island’s most famed archaeological site. It’s been in existence since the 3rd century and was built to honour the god of health and medicine. Another interesting historical site is the Ancient Agora, an excavated market, political and social hub – you can see unearthed temples, baths, houses full of mosaics, columns and other historical finds. The Roman-era Odeon is used as a music venue in summer and is also well worth a visit.

4. Taste traditional food and drink

Delve into the island’s rich culinary scene and taste your way through the most popular dishes with a food tour. You’ll find all the Greek classics, such as gyros, feta cheese, moussaka and tzatziki, as well local delicacies. A trademark of the island is possa cheese. Made from sheep and goat milk, it is submerged in red wine during its maturation and is the perfect addition to a salad. Pitaridia – a type of pasta served with a meat and tomato sauce – is another must-try. Wine lovers, meanwhile, can book a tour of the local vineyards to discover the winemaking process and taste local wines.

5. Join a boat trip to Nisyros Island

An excursion to the volcanic island of Nisyros – a hour’s sail from the port of Kardamena – is a must. It's home to one of the biggest hydrothermal craters in the world, known as Stefanos. Marvel at the mars-like landscape, feel the lava rumble below your feet and see the bubbling mud pools. Organised tours also include a tour of the Monastery of Panagia Spiliani, one of the most beautiful monasteries in the Greek islands, and a visit to the small town of Mandraki.

6. Uncover the island’s history at the Kos Archaeological Museum

If you want to fulfil your culture craving with ancient ruins on the island, then head to the Archaeological Museum located in the heart of Kos Town. It houses a range of artefacts and records, which came to light during excavations around Kos, Rhodes and the smaller Dodecanese islands. Highlights include the beautiful mosaics, statues from the ancient site of Asklepieion, pottery and many other items.
