Kos, one of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its abundant sandy beaches. It’s also rich with Greek and Roman landmarks, particularly in and around Kos Town. This harbor town is dominated by the 15th-century Neratzia Castle. South of the castle is the Ancient Agora ruins, with a temple, shrine, and columns. The 3rd-century Casa Romana villa has lavish mosaics.

Greek Kos, home of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, is one of the smaller islands, but all the more rich insights and tourist attractions. Its relatively flat surface makes it a popular destination for those who like to go on exploratory hiking and cycling tours. The island of Kos is also suited to this - it is literally dotted with a tangle of trails suitable for long walks on foot or rides, whether by bike or on horseback. The number one attraction, however, is still the stunning beaches that line much of the coastline, which is mostly covered in sand and washed by crystal clear water. In addition, due to its location near other interesting islands, Kos serves as a starting point for boat trips.

Geographically, Kos is a 45-kilometer-long stretch of land amidst the bluish waters of the Aegean Sea, separated by only a few kilometers from the Turkish coastline It is exactly 4,700 meters from Kos from Lambi beach to Turkey, and in good visibility, the view of the Turkish coastline is very interesting, as the mountainous Turkish coastline is dotted with small white villages. Speaking of meters and kilometers, Kos is 45 kilometers long, but its width is much smaller and very variable. The eastern part of Kos is about 10 kilometers wide, but the western half is divided by a very narrow strip that is only 1,600 meters long.
