How to move around Kos

Here we are super prepared since we have been living on the island for about ten years and we can afford to say that we know it quite well!

The Kos island is undoubtedly versatile and suitable for anyone 70 kilometers long and 11 wide, it is a tongue of emerged land and according to someone it seems to have the shape of a goat. The head is the area called Kefalos which in Greek means brain, the part where the most beautiful coves and beaches of the island are located.

To get to the sea, the area is all flat and there is only one large road, the Main Road, which crosses and connects the northern and southern parts, therefore it is impossible to make a mistake and get lost unless you decide to take the secondary roads that border just a few meters from the sea rather than venturing onto the beautiful and extremely pristine mountainous part. At night from the mountain roads you can see a starry sky and the enchanting milky way!

There are many things to do in Kos, you will certainly not have a moment to get bored, in addition to splendid coasts where you can let yourself be lulled by the sea and kissed by the warm Hellenic sun rays, there is the whole archaeological part of great value with unique monuments in the world such as the Asklepion the first hospital built in history and on the other hand if not here the homeland of Hippocrates the father of medicine where else could it be done?

Kos is also perfect for sports enthusiasts, lovers of the winds can have a lot of fun with kitesurfing and windsurfing, rather than some beautiful mountain bike rides, or a nice horse ride perhaps at sunset with a final swim in the Aegean on the back of your steed (in this regard, write to us at info@infotourskos.com to organize this wonderful experience or look at the website www.infotourskos.com to choose one of the beautiful excursions we offer).

There is so much choice that it will be a real dilemma deciding what to do during your holiday other than lounging under an umbrella.

Getting around the Kos island is very simple, and you can do it as you see fit, all the options are more than valid, it just depends on your spirit of adventure, your desire and your wallet.

Car: Certainly the most comfortable and fastest means of getting around even if on the other hand it has the problem of parking but only in the city because for the rest it will not be difficult to find it obvious that during the high season it will be a little more difficult given the 'influx of tourists but so you're on vacation who cares. It is better to have it delivered and returned to the airport or you can also decide to pick it up the day after your arrival. Write to us at info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com for a quote we will send you the offers and rental conditions of our trusted charterers with whom we have been working for years. Let's say that the minimum to be able to visit the most famous beaches and also the very characteristic and not to be missed mountain hinterland are three days, but you will have to make a pretty tight schedule to be able to visit everything, Kos, true that it is small but has many things to see. Even the choice of the renter must have a particular focus. Instead, rely on those who know the area, and above all check that the insurance covers as much as possible both for damage to the vehicle and against third parties. Note that no insurance covers damage caused to the vehicle on dirt roads and not marked on the map, everything that can happen will be exclusively at your expense.

If you need it, contact us at info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com and we will send you an offer based on your needs.

Scooter: even the scooter is perfect in Kos to feel free and get almost everywhere. You can choose from a wide range that goes from the smallest 50 cc motorcycle up to the 450 quad, a real hoot that costs almost as much as a car. Also in this case the reservation is better to make it before arriving on vacation, more often during the hottest period of June, July, August and even for a part of September, it can be very difficult to find them available at normal prices. Sometimes a small deposit is required and the balance on delivery. In the case of the two-wheeled vehicle, the insurance covers damage to third parties, but it is possible to make a kind of fully comprehensive insurance to be completely sure with a daily payment that varies from 3 to 5€ based on the cylinder capacity that one has decided to take for your holidays in Greece.

Very important thing: the Greek law is different from the European one to drive motorcycles, it will be necessary to have an A or A1 license for engine capacities over 50 cc while for quads and buggies over 250 cc the license is valid for the 'car.

If you need it, contact us at info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com and we will send you an offer based on your needs.

Quad: Ideal for those who love this vehicle which lends itself very well to Kos! In this case you can get anywhere almost to the shore and have fun on the many dirt roads that lead to small corners of paradise such as the Cavo Paradiso beach, one of the most remote and difficult to reach, which however will give you great satisfaction.

Very important thing: for 250 cc quads you need a car licence.

Send a quotation request to info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com we will be happy to help you with your search.

Buggy: Another super fun vehicle for the family too. Let's say that the cost is almost the same as that of a vaulted machine, even more' but you want to put happiness impressed on your children's faces and also on yours because even adults with a bugger become children again.

Very important thing: for the buggy you need a car licence.

Bicycle: Finally, for the more sporty, the legendary bicycle whether it is electric, normal, mountain bike, racing or the latest trend is the scooter. In recent years more and more people have opted for this means, which is certainly cheap, it helps to keep fit given that the Greek cuisine rich in super-calorie dishes sometimes certainly does not help to keep the figure. If you want a quiet and you are not that much interested in visiting the area and you will choose Kos Town and its suburbs as your base, we inform you that you will have at your disposal a beautiful cycle path almost twenty-two kilometers long which will take you from north to south along the whole bay that houses the capital.. If instead you want to feel like the legendary Gimondi, you can go around the island far and wide but we recommend it only to those who already have experience and above all used to pedaling because Kos in some stretches such as the Kardamena area and the Kefalos area , are a continuous ups and downs with sometimes even challenging slopes.
