What you should know on arrival on Kos 

After a comfortable flight from Schiphol, you’ll be welcomed with open arms at Kos Airport. Hospitality is at the heart of Greek culture, and there’s even a special word for it: philoxenia. It means ‘love of strangers’ and ensures you feel right at home from the start. Kos Airport is compact, and everything is clearly signposted. Grab a taxi, bus or hire car and you’ll be in the centre within 30 minutes. Your adventure starts as soon as you arrive in Kos Town.

Discover the beauty of Kos: these are the best sights 

Kos is a feast for the eyes and there’s certainly plenty to do in Kos Town. Stroll through picturesque streets and visit the Agora. This cultural and historic centre features impressive temples and ruins. Then take a walk to the harbour for a boat trip and end the day on a lovely terrace with a typical Greek glass of ouzo. The rest of the island won’t disappoint either. Tick some historical ruins off your list or roll out your towel on Paradise Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on Kos, and do absolutely nothing. If you want to explore more of the highlights on Kos, the various hot springs are highly recommended. Or how about walking past the crater of a dormant volcano? If you’re up for this adventurous walk, first take the boat to the nearby volcanic island of Nisyros. 

Activities on Kos: things to do

Whether you are going with family, as a couple or as a solo traveller, there’s something for everyone on Kos. The island is one big outdoor museum that takes you all the way back to Greek antiquity.
