Kos Island

Home > Isole > Kos

Kos is undoubtedly an island that will conquer you as soon as you set foot on it. A perfect mix of ancient history, endless beaches that will leave you breathless and an atmosphere that makes it unique and authentic. Right in front of the Turkish coast, it offers its visitors 120 kilometers of wonderful coastline with many sandy beaches, corners with hidden coves where you can stay in contact with Nature or practice water sports or simply laze around under the warm Hellenic sun rays.
An island steeped in legendary history, according to the myth Kos was the refuge of Hercules and the Giants defeated by the Gods during the Gigantomachy. Lose yourself among the ruins of Kos such as the Asklepio, the first hospital built in history dedicated to the God of medicine, or admire the ancient plane tree of Hippocrates where the father of medicine instructed his followers, and still wander around the city going to visit the Gymnasius, the Ancient Agora or the Roman House.
But Kos is not just myth and history, the island boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the Dodecanese, from Tigaki to Mastichari, kilometers of soft, clear sand bathed by waters with a thousand shades of turquoise. ​​Kefalos area with its long bay dotted with beaches where nature still resists and maintains its originality, creating scenarios that are sometimes exotic.
Its proximity to the east also influences the cuisine. Tradition blends between typically Mediterranean flavors and Asian flavors, giving life to dishes rich in flavor. Try one of the many local taverns on the sea with fresh fish and satisfy your taste buds.
