  Never failing to charm her visitors Kos is the second largest of the Dodecanese group and lies north west of Rhodes. If you're dreaming of dazzling sunshine and glorious beaches then Kos is the place for you. There are 40 kilometres of beach in Kos. from Kardamena's long stretch of sand to the secluded bays of the south coast. The most popular form of transport on Kos is bicycle although the road network linking the resorts is very good and affords every chance to explore the island at your leisure. There's a lot to see and do on Kos. In Kos Town visit the magnificent 14th-century Castle of the Knights, or while away the afternoon in one of the many cafes or patisseries that line the shady squares. Take a dip in the healing spas of Thermes or for a real taste of Greek life, visit the pretty old village of Kefalos with its magnificent views. Increasing in popularity year after year Kos offers leisurely laidback holidays in early and late season and exciting, faster paced holidays in the height of the season. Kos caters for many different ages and tastes and still retains all its island charm.

Kos Main resort reviews

 
Kardamena is the liveliest resort on Kos. Small and compact. its welcoming atmosphere and mountainous scenery make it the number one choice for groups of young British people who are Lured by the pale, sandy beach, with its great variety of watersports available in high season, and the flat terrain loved by cyclists and walkers. This sheer fun resort comes lo life at night and the young and lively will undoubtedly have found their haven in Kardamena. Warning: it's for young couples and groups who are attracted by the nightlife and superb beaches. If you don't fit - don't sit.  Transfer time is about 20 minutes by car/taxi or 45 minutes by coach.
 
Kos Town/Psalidi Cosmopolitan Kos Town, guarded by the Impressive Castle of the Knights has two main beaches with bars & tavernas running along its tree lined promenade, and exciting nightlife to rival any resort in Greece. Psalidi is Kos Town's quieter neighbour, a few kilometres of coastline away. It remains peaceful and relaxing throughout the year and you can almost always find a quiet spot on its sand-and-shingle beach. An evening stroll along the shore will bring you to tavernas where you can admire the stunning coastline of Turkey whilst you enjoy a romantic meal. The young & lively head to the town in peak season, although all ages are attracted to the more relaxed areas on the outskirts. Transfer time is about 45 minutes by car/taxi or 90 minutes by coach.
 
Marmari is the perfect resort for those looking for peace and relaxation in glorious surroundings, with a good range of hotel-based activities and facilities, including evening entertainment. The village does have a scattering of good local restaurants, beachside bars and small mini-markets and shops, but Kos Town, 12 kilometres away, has everything you'll need. Marmari's long, sandy beaches of golden sand gently  shelve into the sea. with views of Kalymnos. Watersports are on offer at the main resort centre and it is a popular spot for windsurfing. Marmari is about 13 km from the airport.
 
Mastihari Located on a beautiful beach of the north side of the island, 18km form the city of Kos and just 8 km from the airport. Mastihari is probably the idea resort for beach lovers and for couples looking for a quiet - but not too quiet, holiday in the sun. There are a handful of small shops, tavernas and simple restaurants near the beach, a short walk from most of the hotels that are more inland.  Transfer time is about 20 minutes by car/taxi or 45 minutes by coach.
 
Nea Alikarnossos is really a suburb of Kos town and much of the entertainment is hotel based. For those wanting a livelier time then Kos town is all but a short taxi ride away. Transfer time is about 40 minutes by car/taxi or 80 minutes by coach.
