A guide to the Greek island of Kos
Kos is a popular Greek island, famous for once belonging to a large mountain chain until it broke away after a series of earthquakes. The island hosts more than 100 kilometres of coastline and offers some of Europe’s most impressive beaches. The island has emerged as a major tourism centre in recent years, with high numbers of visitors from northern and western Europe.
The island can be easily reached via the main airport from the Greek capital of Athens. There are also frequent services operating from Germany and Italy with Ryanair and some fares can be purchased for as little as 30 Euros. There is also a ferry from the Greek Islands of Rhodes, Pireaus and Leros and less frequent services from Santorini. On the island itself, a limited bus service runs at various times and a taxi from the airport to a hotel costs a minimum of 15 Euros, even if the journey is just one mile. There is also a scooter service that can be rented from just 10 Euros per day.
In terms of attractions, the island is relatively low key in regards to nightlife. The vast majority of tourists visiting Kos come here to relax on the beautiful sandy beaches or indulge in a horseriding with equine liability. There are also a number of prestigious hotels, including the Aegean Houses Hotel, which is situated just 300 metres from the beach. For families, the Ampravis Hotel is situated on a hill and is within walking distance to the pretty settlement of Kos Town.
