Self catering accommodation and holiday homes in Kos.

Kos has its own international airport with seasonal direct flights from many European cities, plus year-round domestic connections via Athens. You can also arrive by ferry from Piraeus, Rhodes and other Dodecanese and Aegean islands. Once on the island, buses, taxis, rental cars and bicycles all make getting around easy.

Yes. Kos is unusually flat and compact, and dedicated cycle paths run through Kos Town and along parts of the coast. Renting a bike is a popular way to reach beaches, the Asklepion and nearby villages without a car. Bring water and sun protection, as shade can be limited in summer.

The Asklepion is an ancient sanctuary of healing set on wooded terraces just outside Kos Town, historically associated with Hippocrates and early medicine. Its ruins step up the hillside with sweeping views back toward the sea. It is one of the island's signature sights and pairs well with a morning before the heat builds.

Tigaki and Marmari on the north coast have shallow, gently shelving water that suits families with young children. For a wilder, more open feel, head southwest toward Kefalos and its long bay. Kardamena and the town beaches are livelier, with more amenities close at hand.
