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.

I lived on Kos for 15 years and loved every minute of it.

[@samandisanya]

We can see why! 😁

im on holiday. people are so lovely

[@morgsheg]

[@kelseycollins4994]

Hello I’m going there soon, would you be able to recommend a good taxi recommendation? Thank you x

[@vaso28]

@@kelseycollins4994 There is only one taxi company on the island. There is a taxi piazza in every village and you can also call them 24/7. They have fixed prices for everywhere and its posted in hotels and several places.

[@spasn3284]

I am just back from Kos, it’s a great choice for holidays!

[@samandisanya]

It really is! :)

[@natalielefleur8592]

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!

Thank you so much Natalie, really good information

[@derekwordley1837]

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. 😁

[@samandisanya]

Hi Derek, Kos is truly full of wonderful areas isn't it! Therma Beach was definitely a nice one right next to the cliffs, although we didn't try the water - we might have to go back too, I think ☺️

[@derekwordley1837]

@@fitritaslim9766 There is so much to see and do, the busses are frequent and cheap. You can get a ferry from Mastichari to Kalimnos for a great day out. The Asklepion is a nice day out.

How much does it cost to rent the different vehicles? My friend and I are planning to go to Kos for the next summer vacation

[@samandisanya]

Hey Eline, For the day we paid around 25€ for a 50cc atv, 90€ for the dune buggy, and €65 for a motorcycle. Hope this helps :)

[@Justmellouw]

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?

[@samandisanya]

Hey ShutterBugs, you will need a motorcycle license to rent a proper one. With a normal driver's license, you can hire an ATV, scooter, or car 😁

Which are would you recommend if i visit kos? Kos town or kadamera?😍😍😍

[@samandisanya]

It depends what you are looking for! Kos Town has more options for restaurants, nightlife, and archeology. Kardamena is nicely situated behind the mountain and is a bit more relaxed. Hope this helps!

[@David-bs6fq]

Definitely Kos Town

[@h.s.8684]

Thanks !!!

[@derekwordley1837]

Mastichari, fairly central, a good cheap bus service all over the island, lots of wonderful restaurants, with a view of the sea, and people watching. A ferry to Kalymnos island, a wonderful day out. car and scooter hire, and lots lots more. 😁

Hi Lucas, we found Kos to be very safe as it makes a popular travel destination. Nevertheless, we always recommend to keep an eye on your belongings and to trust your gut if a situation doesn't feel right. Wishing you lots of fun on your journey!

Just an FYI the castle isn’t ancient, it’s no where near that old. It’s Middle Ages. 14th century is not considered ancient

[@mykneegrow2819]

About a thousand years after the cut off for ancient which is 500ad and the start is 3000bc but still worth seeing

[@valentinasavic5227]

How much does it cost to rent an atv/dune buggy?

[@samandisanya]

We paid 80€/day for a nice polaris dune buggy and 25€/day for small a very small atv. A decent sized atv suitable for larger roads would be about 40-50€/day - this is probably the best option!
