Situated in the Aegean Sea close to the Turkish mainland, Kos Island is the third largest Dodecanese island. Green and fertile, it lies between Nisyros and Kalymnos.

Kos Town is the island’s capital, as well as an ancient port, and features plenty of bars and restaurants. The town is also studded with historic sites that reflect on the island’s past inhabitants – Egyptians, Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and the Knights of St. John. There are ruins of the Roman baths and amphitheater, and an enormous 15^th century castle built by the Knights of St. John still stands.

Kardamena Village on the south coast of the island, is one of the most popular resorts among British tourists.

Kefalos Village is quieter than other parts of Kos. Perched on a hillside, the village has a nice, long beach and serves up a relaxing experience to visitors. Despite its popularity, the village remains traditionally Greek with whitewashed houses and narrow alleys.
