Egyptians, Romans, Ottomans and Venetians have all called this ancient port town home at some point. Read up on the attractions on your flight to Greece and make a note to explore the ruins of Roman baths and amphitheatre in Kos, as well as the 15th-century castle.
Kos is a great mixture of new and old. Modern bars and restaurants stand next to an old harbour filled with traditional fishing boats and gleaming yachts.
There are many beautiful beaches on Kos, just a couple in Kos Town. These include Lambi Beach, at the western end of town, and Psalidi Beach, which is just 3.5km to the east.
