Best Times to Go
If you're looking for the hottest and the busiest, then July and August are definitely for you. For less crowded times, I recommend May or June, or September and even October, which is still pretty hot, averaging mid to high 20s and even low 30s.
Best Areas to Stay
Kos Town: Where everything comes together.
Lambi Beach is about half a mile away.
Tigaki: Best for families with calm shallow waters, and kid-friendly activities.
Marmari: Quiet and a 20-minute drive from Tigaki.
Mastichiari and Psalidi: For surfing and water sports.
Kefelos: For budget-conscious travellers.
Kardamina: Known for its nightlife and one of the best beaches.
Ayos Fokas, Asfendio and Lagoudi Zia: For a relaxing time.
