Kos packs in an astonishing amount of heritage for a small island. This exclusive half-day excursion will take you on a journey through time and bring ancient Greece to life. You'll start out in Kos town, then visit the historic Asclepeion and cap off your day in the pretty hilltop hamlet of Zia.

Kos town is dripping in history, with monuments from classical antiquity all the way through the Byzantine and Ottoman periods to the rationalism of the 1930s. You'll navigate the streets that lead you through the photogenic town with your guide and soak up its melting pot of architecture and sights during an informative walk.

Then, we'll head to the ruins of Asclepeion, at the top of a pine-clad hill boasting views over Kos town and Turkey beyond. Your guide will fill you in on this 2,500-year-old ‘temple of healing' and then you'll have time to wander around on your own before driving to Zia. Here, you'll have free time to visit the petting farm, browse the shops or nurse a cool drink in a taverna.

    I wont recommend this tour due to transportation organization. Transfer bus delayed 20 min - we waited more than 30 min in the morning. Ride to Kos old town takes roughly 45 min from Porto bello beach hotel. Return took 2 hours and 25 min! Bus was 7 min away 2 times during return ride but just went other hotels which was crazy in total! There is no routing like this - if you are not able to handle routing well, do not organize this! All Kos distributed by only 2 bus route!!!!

    A very knowledgeable guide. The information given at the medical centre was very good and interesting but instead of being given at the beginning would have been better given as you entered the different levels or for there to be information boards with the basic facts.

    The guide Marianne was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It was a nice amount of time at each stop and we felt it was a good mixture of the tour and your own time. The guide also recommended places to eat in Zia which was helpful.

    The food was good and the staff were always helpfully and pleasant to deal with. The hotel on the whole was a warm and welcoming experience. The only down experience we had was our room was on the ground floor and the terrace was regularly full with insects at all times of the day. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. This was our third visit and hopefully won’t be our last.

    Everything went smoothly. Pick up on time. Space on coach, consider using minibuses for transfer into Kos town from resorts to save time. Some coaches had broken seats. Guide was brilliant possibly given too much information to retain but guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. Driver excellent.
