The Greek island of Kos is very well organized and has everything in terms of tourism infra-structure. The various charms and beauties of Kos are not visible at first sight but after a while the picturesque villages and the fine beaches amaze all visitors.
Sandy beaches and rich history are the two major attractions of Kos, along with vivid nightlife. The Archeological Museum stands in the heart of Kos Town. It houses various exhibits dating mainly from the archaic, Hellenistic and Roman Times. Numerous interesting fine mosaics, ceramics, statues and other findings are on exhibition there.
The holiday resort of Kardamena on Kos is located on the south coast of the island by the Aegean Sea. Kardamena has grown greatly over the years as a holiday resort, but what hasn’t changed and makes people visiting this resort very happy over and over again is the locals’ genuine hospitality. Kos airport is only a 7 kilometer taxi ride away from Kardamena. It only takes 10 minutes.
In Kos Town you can see a plane tree which is said to be 2,400 years old. It is the tree that Hippocrates himself planted. The lack of hills on Kos has helped to make cycling a very popular Kos holiday activity and there are innumerable bicycle rental outlets and even some dedicated cycling roads between the big hotels, so if you enjoy cycling it would be very easy to get around.
Psalidi is quite a beautiful holiday resort. There are nice shady places to eat or drink al fresco, and wonderful views across the sea from the ancient ruins. The palm trees cast perfect shadows on the road, and there is a picturesque windmill for holidaymakers to see and photograph. Some of the hotels are very grand, and then, if you like goats, you can make friends with them too. And…..you could see huge octopus hung up to dry, not a sight you see every day perhaps.
Some of the hotels have outdoor restaurants by a deep pool, and beautiful seating areas on long verandahs with fantastic views. The staff is attentive, helpful and friendly. Take care though if you need some support getting in and out of your bath as some accommodation does not have separate shower cubicles and there are no grab rails. You need to find out the details of all this before booking any room. Cleanliness however is top notch.
Tingaki holiday resort lies just away from Kos Town on the North part of the island of Kos. It is a long 10 km of white sand beach. The shallow waters make it ideal for children and an easy place to swim and have fun with the waves. There are some lovely views from the higher ground.
Have a look at the accommodation on offer in all these holiday resorts. If you can get it right, you will not be disappointed with your holiday on Kos.
