Beaches and Resort Life

The primary draw of Kos is undoubtedly its coastline. Many of the resorts are positioned directly along the shore, meaning that a morning swim is never more than a few steps away.

Package holiday travellers will find that most hotels provide their own sun loungers and parasols, keeping the beach experience stress-free. The water quality is excellent, and during the peak summer months, the temperature is ideal for those who enjoy spending their days in the sea.

Many visitors choose to rent a car or use local bus services to explore the various coastal regions. For those who enjoy activities, the coastline is excellent for watersports, and the generally flat terrain around the main towns makes it an accessible destination for walking.
