Did I say breeze? Do you know, I didn’t realize how strong the wind would be – you know, the wind that blows throughout the summer months amongst the islands of the Dodecanese. As I write, I am... more

    Advantages Advantages Sunshine, Temperatures, Lots to Do!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite Lively, Airport

    I have finally recovered enough from my heartbreak upon leaving Kos almost 5 weeks ago now (a blow slightly lessened by the fact my boyfriend’s taking me to Majorca in just over a week!) to be able to write (or boast) about how beautiful it was and how it’s such a great holiday location. Now in my book there’s not a lot I need for the perfect holiday, some sun, some hot weather and a bit of luxury does me fine – my boyfriend’s slightly different in that he can only sun bathe for a certain amount of time before he starts to fidget (and annoy the hell out of me whining like a 3 year old) and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful, friendly, so so much to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the shingle beach

    Kos is a Greek island in the Dodecanese, next to the Gulf of Kos which with a population of roughly 22,000. The island was once ruled by the Venetian and this is evident in many of the Kos Town buildings. Kos Town is a marvelous mix of history, nightlife and culture and is an excellent location for a bit of island hopping. It really does have it all! Some of the best service I have ever had in restaurants has been in Kos, it's the only place I have ever had a tip refused because I tipped the night before (we made sure we left it anyway!) The people are really friendly and welcoming, which is a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful place!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none!

    This review is only information I have from my recent holiday in Greece, Kos. Returning back from Kos, a few weeks ago was heartbreaking! I only wish now, that I had never come home. I stayed in the Imperial hotel in Kos town for 2 weeks with Thomas Cook. Only 2 minute walk from all the restaurants and bars! I shall start by telling you about my thoughts on the Imperial Hotel. Arriving at the hotel, my friend and I thought we could not have come to a worse place. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and the way we had been taken by the transfer coach, it looked as though we were in the middle of ... more

    Advantages Advantages A long way from Kardemna

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Two weeks is never long enough

    I must say I have read this review on Kefalas and thought that I had been to a different place altogether this year. Robert and I traveled to Kos September 07 and only came back Oct 07. As we stayed in Kefalos at the Pantheon just along from the big Club Med, (well up the hill from there). We had wonderful views over the whole of the bay and out over to Nysros and 4 other islands. The sea was so blue for the whole of the 2 weeks and the sky was even bluer. The sun shone from morning till night and as we were lucky enough to have the full moon in the evening it was magical. Whilst there we ... more

    Advantages Advantages Some lively parts & some very quiet parts!Rent a quadbike!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Packed in Summer,do not book with Manos!

    In early 2007 I began looking for a holiday as a few friends (all students aged 18-19) and I had decided we wanted to get away for a while. The usual 'young persons drinking holidays' came up, such as Zante, Magaluf, and Faliraki, but the thought of going to a really rowdy place like Faliraki turned my stomach! Its the idea of going to a place so crammed with English people that you may as well have just gone for a week in Croydon, and having thousands of drunk and sunburned English people mooching around that just didn't appeal to me. On the other hand, a few years earlier I had visited the ... more
