Kos Island – Greece
One of the famous Greek Dodecanese Islands, Kos is very much the number two island in terms of overall size and population, after only Rhodes, which lies directly to the south. However, Kos is extremely popular and past the major resorts and beachfront hotel complexes, this island tends to be a little less commercial.
Tourists holidaying on Kos will be able to enjoy a range of attractions and activities, which range from spectacular beaches and secluded coves, to lively bars, cycling and walking trails through the countryside, and some interesting archaeological sites, including the 14th-century Castle of the Knights. Kos Town is the island capital and is the best place for tourism advice, with its Municipal Tourist Information Office being situated on the waterfront, on the Vasileos Georgiou and next to the Atki Miaouli.
The beaches of Kos are really the number one reason why so many tourists flock to the pretty island each summer. Wherever you are staying, you are guaranteed to be just a very short distance from a least a handful of beaches. A number of the best stretches of sand are to be found around Kefalos Bay, with the most appealing including both Paradise Beach and Langada Beach. The far western side of Kefalos Bay is dominated by the complex surrounding Agios Stefanos Beach, while just over 40 km / 25 miles to the south-west of Kos Town, Kamari Beach may also be of interest and boasts a lengthy resort strip and plenty of water sports.
