Kos (Greece)

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 ... Read review

Piece of Paradise (July 2004)

Advantages: Sunshine, Temperatures, Lots to Do!
Disadvantages: Quite Lively, Airport

...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 ...
...on the south side of Kos island – very reasonable price too for a 4* even if I do say so myself!

** Background on Kos **

Kos is traditionally known as the island of Hippocrates and over the past 10 years has become one of the most popular of the Dedecanese Islands cluster and the Aegean Sea also. It’s the third largest of the Greek islands (following Corfu and Rhodes) and as such its tourism potential has grown and grown. ... more

My all time favourite holiday destination

Advantages: Beautiful, friendly, so so much to do
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 ...
...The main reason we chose Kos initially was because there were plenty of ferries which leave the harbour and go to other Greek Islands. Islands which can be visited are Bodrum - which is actually in Turkey but only a couple of hours on the Ferry. You can visit Rhodes for the day which is fantastic. You can also visit the islands of Pserimos, Nisyros and Kalymnos. Being the exploring type of couple we are - we done them all and there is something for ...

Kos! The place to be

Advantages: Beautiful place!
Disadvantages: none!

...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 nowhere! However, the hotel looked lovely! ...
...relax. Food in Kos is delicious, and a few days of being there we discovered the gyros! A Greek kebab! They sell them in nearly every restaurant, very cheap and very tasty! Just around the corner from the Imperial hotel there is a lovely restaurant call 'la farma' if I remember correctly. Very friendly staff, complementary Bread for starters, and water melon on the house for pudding. Walking further down there is beautiful restaurants at responsible ...

Kefalos, all you need to know

Advantages: A long way from Kardemna
Disadvantages: Two weeks is never long enough

...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 ...
...of Kefalos with it's ruins and old windmill. To walk from the harbor up takes about 25 minuets but there are steps 100 plus in two sections. The first are straight up and the second are on a double steep bend just at the top. Once you have managed them just across the road is a little taverna the sells fresh squeezed lemon juice and orange juice. I managed the orange but Robert had the lemon. Very, very refreshing........ We walked around the town ...

Kos - an island of two halves!!

Advantages: Some lively parts & some very quiet parts!Rent a quadbike!
Disadvantages: Packed in Summer,do not book with Manos!

...ACCOMODATION On arrival in Kos we piled into a coach, at about 10pm, and were escorted to our hotel, the Daphne appartments. We were staying in Kardamena which is the liveliest part of Kos. Having been to a Greek island every year of my life, due to my Dad's love of Greece, I pretty much knew what to expect when it comes to Greek accomodation. White tiled floors, white walls, white bedsheets and faulty electrics, and this is exactly what the Daphne ...
...English who have moved to Kos for the summer months. If you go out often enough they get to know you and will give you free drinks. And, unlike in some places, they do not bully you into going in to the bars. They simply try to lure you in with the ludicrously cheap drinks prices! BEWARE of the measures, they dont measure any spirits out they just throw them in!! I got alcohol poisoning on the last night of the holiday, and it was so severe I didnt ...

Holiday of our Dreams

Advantages: something for everyone, cheap to eat & good value for money
Disadvantages: none

...things on the island of Kos because I'm sure that once you arrive you will fall in love with it just as much as I have! We chose Kos because it was a good, value-for-money last minute deal with Libra Holidays which we found on Teletext. It cost just about £375 each for 2 weeks which we thought was outstanding since it was the last 2 weeks of august and we had to pay extra to pick up our tickets at Manchester airport. It was a long flight but as soon ...
...archaeological sites around most placesin Kos (we visited a few at Kos Town as well), and from Kefalos Town there is a breathtaking view of theb and mountains. There is also a harbour where you can go on boat and fishing trips, lots of cheap souvenir shops and, a 20minute walk away, Paradise Beach which is all sand and has a lovely restaurant. We think wouldn't have minded just pottering around Kefalos every day but I can imagine it may have been ...

Review of Norida Beach Hotel, Kos

Wonderful hotel, Well run, comfortable and a great atmosphere.

Advantages: great atmosphere, good food, clean,
Disadvantages: non

During my families two week holiday to Kos, Greece we stayed in Tigaki at the Fili apartments. The first thing to notice about the hotel is that its situated a little outside where all the bars, shops and restaurants are. However its only a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is situated right near the beach which provides stunning views. When we arrived we were pleased to find the hotel was very nice. The management were very helpful and the bar/restaurant was very clean and presentable which at night provided a wonderful atmosphere. The rooms are very basic, but you get what you pay for. A fridge and kettle are provided and the rooms are always kept tidy. We had a sea view which was very refreshing. All in all the room was very basic but easily provides a comfortable resting place when returning from a day out. I would advise paying ...

Review of Fili Apartments, Kos

A touch of the past, On show in th Present.

Advantages: mind blowing, just to see and touch, such great items of history
Disadvantages: nothing.

KOS MUSEUM, Found centrally of Kos town itself, at Eleftherios Square This is a superb little archaeological museum which was built by the Italians in the 1930s to display Greek and Roman sculptures, potteries and mosaics from the island. It provides a reminder of what an important strategic and cultural centre Kos was for ancient Greece and Rome. The museum's atrium includes a mural/mosaic showing the history of how Hippocrates welcomed Asklepius, the god of healing, to the island, also ceramics, statues and other findings are exposed as well as a statue that is believed to represent Hippocrates, the father of scientific medicine. Close to the Museum is the Roman Odeon, which a lot of it is still intact, and Hippocrates tree, believed to be planted by the great man himself, it is known as the learning tree, as it is said ...
