Holidays in Kos
Kos belongs to the Dodecanese group of islands. It is one of the most beautiful and sunniest islands of the Aegean Sea.
Kos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, is known for its gently undulating, lush scenery, magnificent beaches, and superb climate.
Kos however, is also an island of contrasts and those wishing to avoid hustle and bustle will find that the resort near the picturesque fishing village of Marmari provides the opportunity of a quiet and peaceful holiday in idyllic surroundings. Alternatively for a more lively experience, the resorts at Kos Town and Kardamena have plenty to offer.
Kos is ideally located for taking excursions to visit the islands of Kalimnos and Pserimos, renowned for their sponge diving industry. Another popular option is to visit Patmos, the island where St John the Apostle was exiled and was inspired to write the book of Revelations. Whilst here, explore the imposing 11th century monastery which houses priceless Byzantine treasures.
