Discover the island for yourself
In order to get to know the country and its people better, it is right and important to set out on your own and unaccompanied. You will see that you will come into contact with the Greek inhabitants very quickly and that a lack of language skills will not be a problem either.
A walk to Old Pylí
Discover, for example, the abandoned mountain village Alt-Pylí with a castle ruin, surrounded by forest and with a wonderful view. You drive from the island's capital towards Pylí, turn before the place at a small bridge in the direction of Paliopylí. In Pylí, turn right at the large church of Agios Georgeos and follow the road until it comes into one
unpaved forest path passes. You can park your car there and follow the markings on foot, which lead steeply up the mountain to the left in the direction of the castle ruins. This route takes about 60-80 minutes.
At sunset in Zía ...
Vacation and romance go together like sun and sun cream. And what is the beginning of a romantic evening? A wonderful sunset.
You can experience one of the most beautiful sunsets on Kos in Zía. You will see the islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos as well as mainland Turkey. There you can watch the sun sink into the sea.
The best way to experience the sunset is on the terrace of one of the cozy taverns in Zía. You can also enjoy a glass of wine and a few typical Greek starters, which consist of many small delicacies.
Another attraction are the natural thermal baths. These consist of a stone circle into which thermal water of approx. 50 ° C flows from a small opening in the rock. Cooler sea water enters through the openings in the stone circle, so that the hot water quickly cools to 20-30 ° C. A visit is particularly recommended in the evening hours, as the water is a little cooler then.
... or to Kefalos
With the quad, bike or jeep you can drive to this original place and discover beautiful secluded bathing bays. In one of the numerous taverns you can experience wonderful sunsets.
On Kos there are many opportunities for leisure activities. You can book mountain bike tours, go horseback riding and do water sports. Your tour guide will be happy to advise you and give you insider tips.
