Kos Island

Kos stands out as the Dodecanese’s premier beach destination; a true mediterranean oasis both for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Its vast vegetation, mild climate, aegean-blue waters and never-ending coastlines form a scenery of extraordinary beauty, ideal for summer holidays. Famous for its long golden shorelines and Mediterranean climate, Kos is blessed with hot, sunny summers and mild rainy winters. Here, days are spent walking the long stretches of golden sand, sunbathing under the Greek sun and swimming in the clear Aegean waters! Summer temperatures reach 35°C in July and August while winters are mild and wet, with temperatures dropping to somewhat 10°C during the December - February months.

Diverse historical monuments are a testament to the crossroads of civilisations that once bloomed on the island. Churches, Ottoman mosques, distinctive roman architecture, exotic palm trees, and of course, Mediaeval castles, form an extraordinary fusion of outstanding cultural landscapes and natural beauty. However, what granted Kos its position among the most popular Greek destinations globally, are its people. Genuine Greek hospitality is second to none in Kos, with locals being eager to fill your trip with local flavours, customs and festivities. It comes as no surprise that hundreds of visitors repeatedly choose Kos for their summer holidays for decades now!

If you’re looking for a beach getaway with more to do than just lay on the beach, Kos is your ideal Greek-summer destination! The island’s relatively modest size allows for an unusual - for a Greek island that is, scope of activities and events with which to spend your time taking in the fresh air on the island’s countryside. Cycling, horseback riding, wine tasting tours, mountain biking, hiking, island hopping, dozens of water sports, windsurfing, kitesurfing, scuba diving and many more activities related to the sea, are only some of the options to keep you occupied during your sunny days. For sports enthusiasts, apart from mountain biking, windsurfing and kitesurfing, horseback riding on Marmari beach, taking pictures of exotic pink flamingos in the island’s wetlands of Tigaki or Psalidi, feeding peacocks in Plaka forest or hiking on top of mount Dikaios, are only some of the countless ways to get in touch with nature and catch some fresh air.
