Kos
Welcoming people, golden sandy beaches and a wealth of historical sights make Kos an unbeatable holiday choice. Its vibrant capital is home to the world's first known medical school founded by Hippocrates in the 5th Century BC and
also features a pleasant harbour with plenty of restaurants and bars. Kos's smooth coastline is blessed with beautiful beaches, and despite a good road network, bicycles remain a popular mode of transport. Quiet resorts include Psalidi with its sandy/shingle beach close to Kos Town, or for a livelier ambience choose Kardamena on the south coast.

Kos Town
Picturesque town with a buzzing atmosphere. Suited to young couples. The cosmopolitan capital of Kos offers plenty of sightseeing opportunities with much evidence of past civilisations. When you're not exploring, you can watch the world go by sitting at the terraces of the many cafés, restaurants and bars by the pretty harbour. When the sun goes down, Kos Town has a nightlife to rival the liveliest of Greek resorts.
Platanista Hotel Mikri Poli p186 p187
Superb beaches. Lively nightlife. Suited to young couples and groups of friends. Kardamena ranks as Kos' premier seaside resort blessed with a wonderful sandy beach, great water-sports and plenty of tavernas, bars, nightclubs and shops. Offering a round-the-clock party atmosphere, especially in the height of the season, Kardamena is ideal for those seeking a vibrant holiday destination.
Lambi
Luca Blue Lagoon p185
Sand/shingle beach. Ideal for families. Lambi lies across the headland to the west of Kos Town within bus, cycling or even walking distance of the capital. The beach is long and sandy and shelving gently enough to make it safe for families. Less crowded than the beach at Kos Town, you'll have no problem finding a spot to relax and you can then enjoy a meal at one of the number of restaurants located in the resort. For action seekers, water-sports and parachute jumping are available.
