48 HOURS ON KOS (Greece 🇬🇷) Top Things To Do, Favourite Beach, Incredible Sunsets

This is how we spent 48 hours on the beautiful Greek Island of Kos! As it was getting rainy and dark in our home town of Hamburg, we were looking for a sunny getaway in Europe that wouldn’t require a huge budget. While browsing flight prices we came across a great deal with direct flights for the Greek Island of Kos. As we love Greece already this was a no-brainer for us - so here are the highlights from 48 hours on the island. We search for our favourite beach on the island, eat delicious Greek food and check out incredible sunset spots.
Based on our trip we think that Kos is a great budget friendly beach destination in Europe. We only booked the trip 2-3 weeks in advance, so you might get a better deal! Here’s a quick breakdown of the costs for our trip:
- Package deal with return flights from Hamburg and budget hotel for 7 nights: 450€ per person.
- Rental car on Kos: 26€ per day incl. all insurances

Top tip for hot cars, open a door on both sides then rapidly open and close one of them a few times before you get in, it pushes out a lot of the hot air inside and makes it a lot more comfortable!

I spent a week in Rhodes in 2020 before the pandemic. I took the ferry from Rhodes to Kos and immediately knew that the 3 days I had left on my vacation weren’t gonna be enough 😢. I want to go back. F#ck working 😂😂😂

[@lukacrystal1983]

Do you have to pay deposit?

[@ZoeandSimon]

For the rental car you mean? Yes, we needed to pay a deposit via credit card 🙂

[@ablewindowcleaning7874]

Who was car rental with please

[@ZoeandSimon]

We booked our rental car via a German rental car comparison website that took care of all our extra insurance. The rental car company was called Avance and everything went smoothly 🙂

6,50 € für ein Schälchen Basissalat? Na wunderbar, gibt's hier beim Griechen für weniger, kommt man per Fahrrad hin, ganz ohne Flugzeug. ;)

[@psonara514]

6 euros for a salad y’all were finessed

[@eugeniastravels8954]

That's really inexpensive. I bought for 8 & 9 euros.

[@SpacedOdyssey]

When did you visit, I see you still wearing masks, We visited Greece September 2022 and no masks were needed or worn by anyone
