Welcome to Kos!

The island has long been known for its marvelous climate and outstanding beaches, two very important ingredients for any summer holiday in Greece. Kos surely delivers all of that, plus an incredible variety of water sports at just about every organized beach on the island. You can find water skiing, peddle boats, scuba diving, wind and kite surfing, sailing with hobby or catamarans, jet ski, banana boats, wake boards, and even canoes and kayaks.

The island’s long, narrow shape provides for a lot of coastline, approximately 128 kilometers in total. Of course, we have to mention the nightlife of Kos! The town and all of the resort areas have a very lively night scene, including traditional bars and clubs, discos, DJs, live music, and even traditional dancing. Beware, this island does not sleep at night! ...Continue
