Kos Town by day

4.2/5
962 reviews

On this half-day outing, you'll explore Kos town under your own steam. As the island's capital, it offers up plenty of stuff to see and do. You'll be picked up from your hotel and dropped off in the centre, where the time's all yours to do as you wish.

Many make a beeline for the port, which lined with cafés and tavernas is a great spot to soak in the town's atmosphere while nibbling on meze. At the far end of the harbour is the castle, which was built by the Knights of St John back in the 14th century. Elsewhere in the town, you've got the Roman Baths, the Odeon and Ancient Agora as well as the shop-and-bar-lined Eleftherias Square.

And the recently renovated Archaeological Museum is packed with classical relics such as sculptures and mosaics. And Hippocrates' Plane Tree is a great spot for selfie. There's also the pebbly beach – an ideal spot to relax after all that sightseeing. Your transfer back will be ready at 13:30.

    Coach driver dropping us off was vague about the info for returning coach, 1.10 / 1.30 no details of coach number just the area to be, all turned out fine. 1 hour 15 minute return trip on booking he suggested 40 minute journey vs doing your own thing which would take over the hour. Small details Kos town was lovely and glad we did this trip.

    Es geht hier um einen reinen Transfer vom Hotel zur Stadt und zurück. 7.45 Uhr wurden wir abgeholt vom Hotel und zurück waren wir um 15 Uhr. Die Zeit zum bummeln in Kos-Stadt ist ca. 3 bis 4 Stunden.

    Am besten man fährt mit dem Bus ein Taxi zu bekommen dauert sehr lange.....Ein Tipp von mir im Hotel bei den TUi Mitarbeiter vor Ort eine Busreise nach Kos zu buchen....kostet zwar ein bißchen mehr...aber es ist bis ins kleinste Detail durch organisiert...war mit TUI ein schöner Tag.

    It was great to have a lovely air conditioned bus to Kos Town. I had looked at using public buses, however people had commented that they were unreliable, full and not air conditioned. Given I was travelling with my child, I just wanted that extra security (and air conditioning). It was a great trip, and the duration was perfect too.
