Sun-kissed Kos

Discover Kos

Natives of Kos love to spend time on the beach, and considering its beautiful climate, it's no wonder. As such, the island is a hugely popular tourist destination for everyone from families to the 18-30 crowd, promising great beaches, a wealth of attractions and plenty for sightseers.

Away from the sun bed

Kos is known as something of a party island, so while there are plenty of quiet, relaxing parts, it's not hard to find the action when the sun goes down either. From the karaoke bars, techno clubs and house clubs that line the big beaches, to the more hidden-away blues and jazz clubs, there's something for every taste. Head out into the villages and you'll even find salsa dancing and traditional entertainment. 

When you want to find those little mementos to take home, try the buzzing markets on the promenades. For real retail therapy, explore the narrow, winding streets of Kos Old Town, where you'll find hidden handmade goods shops and secret chic boutiques.
