Kos island beaches in greece

Where are the best beaches? On Kos, of course. Where is the finest and whitest sand? In Greece, on Kos. Where are the many fish taverns located? Also here - on the island of Kos.

So, welcome to a real tourist paradise on Earth - your foot is setting foot on the island of Kos!

Every meter of the coast here is equipped for sunbathing and enjoying the waters of the Aegean Sea. Kamari, Tigaki, Psalidi, Marmari, Kardamena, Mastichari are the names of the small towns of the island that sound like music in the ears of true connoisseurs of a great beach holiday.


The main highlight of the island is that, despite its small area, different beaches of Kos have completely different waves and water temperatures. The warmest sea is in Marmari, but here everything is overshadowed by waves, and in Kefalos it is always calm, and the water is crystal, but its temperature is not friendly to tourists who like "hot".

City of Doctors


Yes, yes, this place should become a Mecca for Aesculapius all over the world! It was here that Hippocrates himself created his imperishable Oath! Visit Asklepion - an ancient Greek hospital and part-time temple of the god Asclepius, which was built by the students of the famous healer, and also take a walk in his garden and be sure to touch the plane tree, the trunk of which is 12 meters in circumference. Rumor has it that Hippocrates once planted it. Still, such excursions during the holidays fill with a thirst for work for the whole year.

Perfect fishing spot


This is where avid fishermen should go on vacation! Be sure to visit Kefalos. Here you can rent a fishing rod, a boat, and even a wetsuit with a spear gun, and then it's just you, the sea and the catch.

And there are a lot of fish, and almost all of them are very unusual. What? Tired of our roach and carp? Go fishing for moray eels and stingrays! And then the chef at the hotel will kindly cook your catch so that you just lick your fingers!

What is not found anywhere in Greece, but it is on Kos

Surprisingly, Kos welcomes tourists with traditions that are not found anywhere else in Greece.


The first tradition is associated with wreaths of flowers. Every year on September 5th, local housewives weave two wreaths, which symbolize the new and the old year. They release the "old" into the sea, and put the "new" on the shore at the water's edge so that the waves "touch" it 40 times. Then this wreath is carried to the Plane Tree (taking with them a jar of pebbles and sea water), subsequently all these things will become amulets for the house.

The inhabitants of Kos also like to hug the plane tree of Hippocrates - they believe that he gives them strength.


Saint George's Day - April 23 - is the day of horse racing.

The beginning of August will delight lovers of fish, honey and wine. On Kos, days dedicated to these dishes are held.

From July to September you can get to the Hippocratic festival.

If you decide to give your loved ones and friends souvenirs from your vacation, don't forget to bring olive soap, olive oil, wine or ceramics with you. Have a nice vacation!
