Kos is one of the most popular islands in the Dodecanese. The island has a well-establish tourist industry which benefits the visitors to the island as it is very organized. The locals are generally friendly people and they have realized just how important tourism is for the island. Kos offers plenty of action in the summer, but goes rather quite in the wintertime.

The City
Kos has a large selection of wonderful beaches which are mainly to be found on the south coast. The swimming possibilities are many and it is a great place for snorkelling or diving as the possibilities are endless. The island has some stunningly beautiful mountain villages which can easily be visited either by car, bus or bicycle. It is also home for some of the world’s most interesting ancient sites and they are worth a visit as many of the structures still standing were built somewhere between 3rd – 4th century BC. It is an absolutely amazing experience. Naturally, most of the activities on the island are based around the water, and Kos is a great place for windsurfing, jet-skiing or even sailing in your own yacht. There are several day tripper boats which can take you to other nearby islands as well as to Turkey if you so wish.
