    Top 7 Things to do on Kos, Greece



    An ancient isle in the Aegean sea, the main hub of the Dodecanese islands and only a stone’s throw away from Turkey, lies Kos.

    Every year, a bustling scene of curious travelers trek here, wanting to discover the rich history, dive into the great party scene, and get a taste of authentic Greek life.

    Through the earliest recollections dating back to the Mycenaean Era, the last phase of the Bronze Age in Greece, and through the many ruins illustrating the Byzantine times, Kos is like stepping into a history book.

      Do NOT hire a buggy, quad or ATV. This is the number one cause of accidents and hospitalisations on the island. The hospital is ill-equipped for emergencies! Most travel insurance does not cover you for this activity and roads in Kos can be hazardous outside of town for visitors. On a positive note, don't miss the Tigaki Salt Lake (in quieter months there are flamingos), visit Agios Stefanos in Kefalos and swim to the island of Kastri for your mamma mia moment. Neighbouring Nisyros island is a geothermal volcano where you can walk the crater and explore the mountain villages. Take a bus or car to the natural thermal springs 10 mins drive out of Kos Town. Hiring bicycles is one of the top things to do in Kos due to it's bike friendly cycle paths and coastal roads. There is a ferry running again after covid restrictions to Bodrum from the harbour or join one of the weekly one day boat trips to other nearby islands in the Summer. Horseriding schools in Mamari offer sunset rides or experienced riders to swim with them on the beach. In Kos town there is a mini train which tours the local archaeological sites with a short audio tour – visit Casa Romana next to the Odeon, the Ancient Agora and many more on the town's walking map. If you are taking a car, don't miss the abandoned villages in the mountains from the Byzantine periods like Paleo Pyli. Sports enthusiasts can also hike from Zia to the top of Mt Dikios or one of the many nature trails through the pines/cypress forests. There really is something for everyone in Kos!

      Great video. I went to Kos a lot until a few years back and love the place! Will be off there again. It’s mostly untouched which is a bonus to me 😎

      My late wife and myself loved Kos. Many , many years ago we visited Therma, where hot water flowed from into the sea. a long walk down from the bus stop. There was a rock pool where the hot water went. sometimes the pool was very pleasant, sometimes it was boiling.. i would love to go back one day. 😁

      Hi, I booked to visit Kos in September will I be safe in my own? I’m on a spiritual journey but I’m nervous now hence why I’m watching videos. Looks beautiful ❤

      Hello! Thank you for the video and tips! My wife and I are excited to visit it soon. One question? Do I need a motorcycle license to rent one? Or a car licenses is enough?
