The Greek Island of Kos is located between Kalymnos and Nysiros, the island of Kos is a short distance from Turkey which is visible from some of the islands coastline. Kos has 112km of beautiful coastline surround by the Aegean Sea, the Islands main focus is tourism from April to October with something on the Island for all tastes in tourism.

Key tourist resorts in Kos are Kardamena, Kefalos, Kos Town, Tingaki, Matihari, Marmari and Antimachia where you will find a range of accommodation from 5* hotels to self catering apartments.

Kos is long and thin, measuring 44 by 10.9 kilometres and unlike many other islands in Greece, the majority is flat, in the north and west. This means, much of the scenery on Kos is not outstanding, although it does get slightly mountainous in the south and east.

With Kos being a fairly flat Island cycling has become popular, there are no end of bicycle rental outlets and there are dedicated cycling lanes in all the amin resorts.

As well as the brash nightlife of Kos Town and a plethora of beach resorts, the island also boasts some of the best archaeological sites in Greece.

For many though, it’s the long beautiful sandy beaches that make holidays to Kos so appealing with day trips by boat to nearby Turkey a popular holiday excursion.
