I&#8217;ve put together <strong>15 things to do in Kos, Greece<\/strong> that cover something for every type of traveller, from ancient ruins and thermal springs to a day trip on a different continent. The island is also the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, so fascinating historical sights are never in short supply.

If swimming and soaking up the sun on the beach is your main goal, the ideal window is <strong>June through to mid-September<\/strong>. Temperatures regularly climb above 30 \u00b0C during the summer months and the sea is as warm as a bathtub \u2014 perfect for families with young children. Bear in mind, though, that this is also when the island is at its busiest and accommodation prices are at their peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Active travellers who want to explore the island by bike and take in the ancient sights will find <strong>May, June and especially late September into October<\/strong> a better fit. October in particular is something of a hidden gem across the Dodecanese \u2014 the tourist crowds thin out dramatically, hotel prices drop sharply, yet the sea retains a very pleasant temperature after the long hot summer. Up in northern Greece the weather can already be turning by then, but down here you can still sunbathe without a second thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From mid-May to mid-September, the Aegean is also swept by the <strong>dry northerly wind known as the meltemi<\/strong>. On Kos it tends to be a little gentler than on the neighbouring Cyclades, but it can still kick up waves along the northern coast \u2014 which windsurfers and kitesurfers absolutely love. On the eastern shores the same wind brings a very welcome cooling breeze during the scorching August heat, so even when the sun is blazing you won&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re being slowly baked alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu.jpg\" alt=\"The resort of Mastichari on the northern coast of Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197331\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu-700x372.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-2-letovisko-mastichari-na-severnim-pobrezi-kosu-696x369.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Karelj, public domain, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Kos\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Kos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Travel tip: We always search for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which tends to have the best cancellation policies.

You&#8217;ll find decent mid-range hotels here for around 60 to 120 euros per night, and thanks to the dense network of cycle paths you can reach the town centre in just a few minutes on a bike.

All the main sights are within a few minutes&#8217; walk of each other, making it very easy to explore on foot. Right in the centre spreads the <strong>vast ancient agora<\/strong>, which once served as the commercial and social heart of the city. Today you can wander freely among the remains of Doric columns and sanctuaries that were unexpectedly uncovered by a powerful earthquake in 1933 \u2014 admission is completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a short stroll away you&#8217;ll find the fascinating <strong>Casa Romana<\/strong>, a reconstructed Roman villa with an extraordinary thirty-six rooms and three inner atriums. The preserved mosaic floors and marble fountains give you a vivid sense of the luxury enjoyed here two thousand years ago. As you wander through the town you&#8217;ll also notice the Defterdar Mosque on Eleftherias Square \u2014 its minaret collapsed in another earthquake in 2017 and it&#8217;s still awaiting full restoration. If history really grips you, the local archaeological museum is well worth a look too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos.jpg\" alt=\"The Hippocrates Plane Tree in the square in Kos Town\" class=\"wp-image-197336\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-5-hippokratuv-platan-na-namesti-ve-meste-kos-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: sophie, public domain, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Hippocrates_Plane_Tree\"><\/span>2. The Hippocrates Plane Tree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Right in the town centre, not far from the harbour, stands a tree that draws virtually every visitor to the island. The <strong>famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitgreece.gr\/islands\/dodecanese\/kos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hippocrates Plane Tree<\/a><\/strong> is said, according to ancient legend, to be the very spot where the father of modern medicine taught his students in the shade of its spreading canopy. If that were true, this majestic tree would have to be over two and a half thousand years old \u2014 which, botanically speaking, simply isn&#8217;t possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current trunk is around five hundred years old, though locals proudly claim it&#8217;s a direct descendant of the original. Its girth measures twelve metres, and the tree is now so ancient that it needs an elaborate frame of metal and wooden supports on all sides just to stay upright. Visiting is entirely free, and right beside it you&#8217;ll find an old Ottoman fountain and the Loggia Mosque, both of which add a wonderfully layered historical atmosphere to <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Spot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/the-spot-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">the spot<\/a> \u2014 even if both also bear the scars of recent earthquakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia.jpg\" alt=\"Cannons on the walls of the Knights&#039; Castle of Neratzia\" class=\"wp-image-197337\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-6-dela-na-hradbach-johanitskeho-hradu-neratzia-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Asurnipal, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Neratzia_Castle\"><\/span>3. Neratzia Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Strolling along the harbour in Kos Town, your eye will inevitably be drawn to the <strong>massive Neratzia fortress<\/strong>. This imposing structure was built in the fourteenth century by the Knights of St John to defend the island against raids from the nearby Ottoman Empire. The castle was sadly badly damaged in the devastating 2017 earthquake and was completely closed to visitors for eight years on safety grounds. The good news is that following an expensive restoration costing more than two and a half million euros in European funding \u2014 which reinforced the damaged walls \u2014 the castle <strong>finally reopened to the public in 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk the newly secured battlements for breathtaking views over the harbour and its moored boats, then treat yourself to an iced coffee in town afterwards. Admission is around 5 euros and the visit takes roughly an hour. Do bear in mind that some peripheral areas may still be fenced off, and it&#8217;s worth arriving in the morning as the castle typically closes in the mid-afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly.jpg\" alt=\"Ruins of the ancient Asklepion, Hippocrates&#039; medical school\" class=\"wp-image-197339\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-7-ruiny-antickeho-asklepionu-hippokratovy-lekarske-skoly-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u0391\u039d\u03ce\u0394\u03c5\u039d\u03bf\u03c2, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Asklepion_Ancient_Hospital\"><\/span>4. The Asklepion: Ancient Hospital<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About three and a half kilometres northwest of the town centre, set into a gentle hillside, lies the <strong>single most important ancient site on the entire island<\/strong>. The Asklepion functioned in antiquity as a vast healing centre and sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine. According to historians, this is where Hippocratic medical practices were applied, and patients travelled here from across the ancient world in search of a cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complex is laid out across several terraces, and the higher you climb, the more the view opens up towards the Turkish coast \u2014 which looks close enough to touch from up here. Adult admission is around 8 euros, but check the current price on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hhticket.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official hhticket.gr website<\/a> as it can change. EU citizens under 25 get in free. From Kos Town you can catch local bus number 3, or take the tourist train, but either way go early in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko.jpg\" alt=\"The coastline between Lambi and Tigaki, along which the cycle path from Kos Town runs\" class=\"wp-image-197341\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-8-pobrezi-mezi-lambi-a-tigaki-kudy-vede-cyklostezka-z-mesta-ko-696x463.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Asurnipal, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Explore_Kos_by_Bike\"><\/span>5. Explore Kos by Bike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s one thing that sets Kos apart from most other Greek islands \u2014 which tend to be mountainous and tricky to navigate by bike \u2014 it&#8217;s the island&#8217;s serious love affair with cycling. In 2022, Kos was awarded the prestigious <strong>Bike Friendly Destination certification<\/strong>, and it fully deserves the title. The northern and eastern coasts are almost perfectly flat and threaded with over 200 kilometres of well-maintained cycle paths, where you&#8217;ll encounter families with toddlers and active retirees alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hire shops are on every corner, and a basic city bike will set you back just <strong>3 to 5 euros a day<\/strong>. If you fancy heading further into the interior, e-bikes are available from around 15 euros a day. The most beautiful and safest route runs <strong>directly from Faros beach along the coast through Kos Town and on to the resort of Psalidi<\/strong> \u2014 it takes about an hour at a very relaxed pace, and you can stop at a caf\u00e9 or take a dip in the sea whenever the mood takes you. Try friendly Nikos Bikes in Tigaki, where the staff are happy to help you plan your route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori.jpg\" alt=\"Bros Therma thermal springs directly in the sea\" class=\"wp-image-197342\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-9-termalni-prameny-bros-therma-primo-v-mori-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: kallerna, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Bros_Therma_Hot_Springs\"><\/span>6.

Then make the trip out to the eastern coast, about twelve kilometres from Kos Town. At Bros Therma beach, <strong>natural sulphurous springs at 42\u201350 \u00b0C<\/strong> bubble straight out of the rock and into the sea. Locals have used the stones to create a small natural pool roughly twenty-five square metres in size, where the hot mineral water mixes with the cooler Aegean waves \u2014 the result is an absolutely blissful place to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the hot springs is <strong>completely free and open year-round<\/strong>. Do bring water shoes, though \u2014 the beach is covered in dark volcanic pebbles and the path to the springs is quite rocky. Also avoid wearing light-coloured swimwear or silver jewellery, as the high sulphur and mineral content in the water can permanently stain them yellow. Local buses run from Kos Town and the journey takes around twenty-five minutes, after which you&#8217;ll have a roughly fifteen-minute walk downhill to the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu.jpg\" alt=\"View from the mountain village of Zia over the coast of Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197344\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-10-vyhled-z-horske-vesnice-zia-na-pobrezi-kosu-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Robert Ahner, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Sunsets_in_the_Mountain_Village_of_Zia\"><\/span>7. Sunsets in the Mountain Village of Zia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perched high on the slopes of Mount Dikeos, the pretty village of Zia is known for its traditional blue-and-white architecture and sweeping views over the northern coast. It has become something of a legend thanks to the <strong>most spectacular sunsets on Kos<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find plenty of souvenir shops and tavernas where you can try the local speciality: a refreshing cinnamon lemonade called <strong>kanelada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Zia suffers badly from overtourism during peak season. Around sunset, dozens of coaches pull in and thousands of people jostle for space on the viewpoints with their phones raised. If you&#8217;d rather avoid the chaos, visit <strong>early in the morning or late morning<\/strong>, when the village has a wonderfully calm and authentic feel. The natural park on the edge of the village also offers lovely views without the crowds. If you want to have dinner here, try the traditional taverna Oromedon \u2014 they do excellent wood-fired vegetarian dishes, a wonderful meat-free moussaka, and fried cheese with jam that&#8217;s absolutely worth the trip alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu.jpg\" alt=\"The islet of Kastri with the chapel of St Nicholas near Kefalos\" class=\"wp-image-197345\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu-700x331.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu-768x363.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-11-ostruvek-kastri-s-kapli-svateho-mikulase-u-kefalosu-696x329.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u0412\u0432\u043b\u0430\u0441\u0435\u043d\u043a\u043e, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Kefalos_Peninsula_and_Agios_Stefanos\"><\/span>8.

Its coastline is fringed with beautiful coves just begging to be explored. The standout gem is Agios Stefanos beach, which offers something you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find anywhere else: swimming right alongside the ruins of a fifth-century early Christian basilica, whose columns rise just a few steps from the water&#8217;s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directly opposite the beach, roughly a hundred and fifty metres offshore, sits the <strong>photogenic little islet of Kastri<\/strong> \u2014 topped by an iconic white chapel with a blue dome dedicated to St Nicholas. Confident swimmers can easily paddle out to it and ring the bell at the entrance, though always check the current sea conditions before you set off. The water around this part of the island is a little cooler than in the north, but it makes up for it in clarity and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos.jpg\" alt=\"Paradise Beach on the southern coast of Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197347\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-12-paradise-beach-na-jihu-ostrova-kos-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u05d9\u05d5\u05d1\u05dc \u05de\u05d3\u05e8, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"recko\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-05T08:53:56+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Paradise Beach and Camel Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you&#8217;re on the Kefalos peninsula, you absolutely cannot skip the beaches that regularly feature in lists of the most beautiful in all of Greece. <strong>The most famous is Paradise Beach<\/strong>, and it lives up to its name completely. Its fine golden sand, turquoise water and wide range of water sports make it a genuine paradise for families with children. It&#8217;s often nicknamed &#8220;bubble beach&#8221; too, because tiny bubbles of volcanic gas constantly seep up from the seabed \u2014 a brilliant extra attraction for young swimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Paradise Beach feels too busy during high season, drive a little further to the <strong>more secluded cove of Camel Beach<\/strong>. It gets its name from a huge rock on the horizon that looks remarkably like a sitting camel. The access road is fairly steep and gravelly \u2014 worth noting because standard hire car insurance often doesn&#8217;t cover unmade roads. Your reward for the slightly more adventurous journey is a great deal more peace and quiet, noticeably cooler and more refreshing water, and fantastic snorkelling conditions along the rocky edges of the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"898\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu.jpg\" alt=\"Beach by the salt lake of Alykes in northern Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197348\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-700x524.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-13-plaz-u-slaneho-jezera-alykes-na-severu-kosu-696x521.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Piotr Pi\u0119tka, CC BY 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_Sandy_Beaches_of_the_North\"><\/span>10.

The resorts of <strong>Tigaki, Marmari and Mastichari<\/strong> all share one defining feature: vast stretches of wonderfully fine, pale sand. Tigaki&#8217;s beach alone stretches for ten kilometres, flies the Blue Flag for water quality, and is connected to Kos Town by a convenient flat cycle path. The entry into the sea here is so gradual that you can wade dozens of metres out and still only be knee-deep \u2014 perfect for young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Tigaki and neighbouring Marmari \u2014 flanked by pretty sand dunes \u2014 are fairly tourist-oriented resort towns full of hotel complexes, <strong>Mastichari retains the pleasant character of a traditional fishing village<\/strong>. It&#8217;s also the departure point for regular ferries over to the neighbouring island of Kalymnos. The entire northern coast is very exposed to the wind, so when the meltemi blows from mid-May through September, windsurfers and kitesurfers flock here from all over Europe. The sky fills with colourful kites on those days, as the conditions are simply ideal \u2014 and there are plenty of schools and equipment hire shops along the shore if you fancy giving it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos.jpg\" alt=\"A peacock in the Plaka forest on the island of Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197350\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-14-pav-v-lese-plaka-na-ostrove-kos-696x928.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Rikki Mitterer, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Plaka_Forest_with_Peacocks_and_Alykes_Salt_Lake\"><\/span>11.

Here you&#8217;ll find <strong>Plaka Forest<\/strong>, a pine woodland that acts as the green lung of the island. Entry is free, and the main attraction is the <strong>dozens of free-roaming peacocks<\/strong> that are remarkably tame and will eat right out of your hand. There are also freshwater turtles and plenty of shady picnic spots \u2014 the only catch is that no buses come here, so you&#8217;ll need a car or bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another worthwhile natural stop on the northern part of the island is the <strong>Alykes salt lake<\/strong>, just outside Tigaki. In the summer heat it dries out to a glistening salt crust with mountains in the background, but if you visit in spring, autumn or winter you stand a very good chance of spotting <strong>flocks of wild flamingos<\/strong> that stop here during their migration. It&#8217;s a lovely cycle from Kos Town and makes for a perfect afternoon outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu.jpg\" alt=\"The Byzantine castle of Palio Pyli in the interior of Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197351\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-15-byzantsky-hrad-palio-pyli-ve-vnitrozemi-kosu-696x463.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Asurnipal, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_The_Abandoned_Castle_of_Palio_Pyli\"><\/span>12. The Abandoned Castle of Palio Pyli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Love mysteries and abandoned places with a dark history? Then Palio Pyli is bound to captivate you. It&#8217;s a ruined medieval settlement hidden high in the island&#8217;s interior, hurriedly abandoned by its inhabitants in the nineteenth century during a devastating cholera epidemic. Rising above the crumbling stone houses are the <strong>imposing remains of a Byzantine castle<\/strong> and two historic small churches, reached by a roughly three-kilometre woodland trail from the modern village of Pyli. From the top, the panoramic views across the Aegean, the neighbouring islands and the nearby Turkish coast are absolutely breathtaking \u2014 which is why it&#8217;s also become a popular spot for watching the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Entry to the whole site is completely free<\/strong>, though travel forums regularly warn about fake monument guardians. These individuals sometimes hang around at the forest entrance and try to persuade unsuspecting tourists to make voluntary contributions towards a non-existent restoration fund. Don&#8217;t be taken in \u2014 feel free to walk straight past them with a clear conscience. The climb up is a bit demanding, so wear sturdy footwear, but you&#8217;ll be rewarded at the top by a charming little caf\u00e9 with extraordinary views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"942\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional windmill in Antimachia\" class=\"wp-image-197353\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii-700x550.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii-768x603.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-16-tradicni-vetrny-mlyn-v-antimachii-696x546.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Mustang Joe, CC0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_The_Windmill_in_Antimachia\"><\/span>13. The Windmill in Antimachia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us picture iconic white windmills the moment we think of Greek islands, and Kos happily delivers. In the village of Antimachia, right in the middle of the island not far from the international airport, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>only fully functioning windmill on the whole island<\/strong>. It&#8217;s over two hundred and fifty years old and, following careful restoration, now operates as a fascinating small museum. For an entrance fee of around <strong>3 to 5 euros<\/strong>, you can step inside the mill and have the owners walk you through exactly how the ancient grain-milling mechanism works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit also includes the adjacent traditional house, furnished with original period furniture, which shows precisely how a typical island miller&#8217;s family would have lived a hundred years ago. It&#8217;s a quick stop, but a surprisingly interesting and wonderfully photogenic one. While you&#8217;re in Antimachia, it&#8217;s also well worth swinging by the nearby thirteenth-century Crusader fortress of Kastell, inside whose walls two charming little chapels are tucked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros.jpg\" alt=\"The Stefanos crater on the volcanic island of Nisyros\" class=\"wp-image-197355\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-17-krater-stefanos-na-sopecnem-ostrove-nisyros-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Enpatrais, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Day_Trip_to_the_Volcanic_Island_of_Nisyros\"><\/span>14.

The neighbouring island of Nisyros is a fascinating place, with volcanic activity still rumbling away beneath its surface. You can book a <strong>full-day organised tour for around 40 euros<\/strong>, easily arranged through platforms like <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a> or directly through a local rep. The price typically includes a bus transfer from the port to the Stefanos crater, where you&#8217;ll walk across a yellow sulphurous crust and feel the heat radiating up from below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to explore independently, it&#8217;s perfectly straightforward and cheaper. Regular ferries run from Kardamena port, with a return ticket costing <strong>around 16 euros<\/strong> and the crossing taking about forty-five minutes. On the island itself you&#8217;ll pay 3 euros as an island fee and 5 euros for access to the crater. Don&#8217;t miss the picturesque harbour town of Mandraki with its Panagia Spiliani monastery, where you can try the wonderful local <strong>almond drink called soumada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu.jpg\" alt=\"Bodrum Castle on the Turkish coast opposite Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197356\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu-700x422.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/197203-18-hrad-bodrum-na-tureckem-pobrezi-naproti-kosu-696x419.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Serhio Magpie, CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_A_Day_Trip_to_Bodrum_Turkey\"><\/span>15. A Day Trip to Bodrum, Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beaches in northern Kos, the Turkish mainland is so sharp and clear on the horizon that it almost feels within swimming distance \u2014 just seven nautical miles separate the two countries. It would be a real shame not to make the most of it and hop over for a day on an entirely different continent. Boats depart every morning from Kos Town to the Turkish resort of Bodrum, and the crossing takes just <strong>30 to 60 minutes<\/strong> depending on the vessel. Return tickets are available from various operators for between 15 and 25 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Bodrum you&#8217;ll discover bustling bazaars where everything is up for negotiation \u2014 from spices to leather goods \u2014 as well as the imposing Castle of St Peter and the remains of the ancient Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. The latter is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: you&#8217;ve probably read about it at school, but nothing quite prepares you for seeing it in person. \u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Important note:<\/strong> Turkey is not a member of the EU or the Schengen Area. This means that for this trip you <strong>must carry a valid passport<\/strong> \u2014 a UK driving licence or any other ID card will not be accepted. Passport and customs checks at the port before departure can take a while and queues do form, so arrive with plenty of time to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1374\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo.jpg\" alt=\"Greek salad with tzatziki at a taverna in Kos\" class=\"wp-image-197321\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kos-jidlo-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_in_Kos\"><\/span>Where to Eat in Kos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The food scene on Kos is far better than you might expect. This isn&#8217;t just about gyros and Greek salad: the island has its own PDO-protected cheeses, fried pastry parcels drizzled with honey, and a cinnamon lemonade you simply won&#8217;t find anywhere else. Kos has exceptionally fertile soil and a long tradition of local produce, which forms the backbone of most island specialities. If you love discovering new flavours, seek out the traditional family-run tavernas that cook from recipes passed down through the generations \u2014 there are great options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The absolute must-try is the local cheese called <strong>krasotiri<\/strong> (also known as <strong>posa<\/strong>). This soft goat&#8217;s or sheep&#8217;s milk cheese carries a protected designation of origin and is unique in that it ripens in red grape pomace, giving it a distinctive reddish rind and a subtly spicy, wine-tinged flavour. Another vegetarian treat is <strong>katimeria<\/strong> \u2014 delicious fried pastry parcels stuffed with fresh cheese, then generously drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon. On hot summer days you&#8217;ll be very grateful for a glass of <strong>kanelada<\/strong>, the traditional cinnamon lemonade especially associated with the mountain village of Zia, or the popular local almond drink known as <strong>soumada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best restaurants, the taverna <strong>Oromedon<\/strong> in Zia is well worth booking in advance. They serve outstanding mountain cuisine, a wonderful meat-free wood-fired moussaka, and a magnificent fried cheese with homemade jam. Back in Kos Town, the elegant restaurant <strong>Petrino<\/strong> \u2014 set in a beautiful garden courtyard \u2014 is a must for its excellent tasting boards loaded with local cheeses. Not far from the centre, the popular taverna <strong>Elia<\/strong> serves a near-perfect saganaki alongside a whole range of traditional vegetable meze dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meat eaters are also well catered for. A typical local speciality is <strong>pitaridia<\/strong> \u2014 homemade pasta similar to wide noodles, slow-cooked in a rich meat broth. Traditionally served with a generous portion of minced meat and pork fat, it&#8217;s a wonderfully hearty dish that locals particularly love on cooler evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_Kos\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from Kos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re weighing up whether Kos is the right destination for your holiday, or you&#8217;d like to combine it with other places in Greece, do have a look at our other guides.
