Kos Town, the main hub of the Greek island of Kos, blends a lively harbour, a walkable centre and beaches close at hand. It is a strong choice for UK couples and families who want a proper town atmosphere alongside their beach time.

With shops, tavernas and bars on the doorstep, plus the sea nearby, it offers more variety than a quiet resort while still keeping things relaxed.

Where to stay in Kos Town

Diamond Boutique Hotel is a four star boutique hotel in Kos Town, within walking distance of Lambi Beach and local amenities, which makes it easy to mix beach days with a stroll into the centre.

Getting there and when to go

Kos is reached by direct seasonal flights from several UK airports, with a short transfer into town. The season runs spring to autumn, with hot, dry summers and gentler shoulder months in June and September that suit families.

Beaches and resorts

The beaches around Kos Town offer sand and shingle with clear, warm, gently shelving water that is good for swimming. The town's flat layout makes it easy to reach the sea, and bike hire is popular for getting about.

Food and things to do

You will find plenty of Greek tavernas serving grilled fish, mezze and salads, plus cafes and bars around the harbour. The town is pleasant to wander, with a relaxed buzz in the evenings and easy access to the rest of the island.

Who it suits

Kos Town suits couples who like a lively base, families wanting beaches and amenities close together, and anyone who prefers a walkable town to an isolated resort.
