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.

    Our guide Mariana was fantastic. Very informative and kept the whole excursion lively. Bus pick up was 10 minutes late but it didn't feel like an issue. Safe driving by all bus drivers. The trip to Ascelapion was very good especially with the tour guide info. Finally lunch at Zia was also budget friendly provided you choose the right restaurant (which again the tour guide helped with that ).

    The guide was very informative. We would have liked a little more time in Zia. We just had enough time to eat our meal and briefly look around.

    we enjoyed walking round Kos Town, the harbour, shops and ruins we had coffee and croissant in a café off the main street which was charming then we visited the ancient hospital site - our guide really brought this to life - it's a spectacular site then up in to the mountains for a lunch in a rooftop café in a mountain village, a traditional greek lunch which was hot and tasty - then a wander round the tourists shops and back on the bus home

    Generally good , the tour rep was very nice, amusing, helpful & knowledgeable, on the hospital visit itself , I would of prefered if she had done some of the explaining as we actually walked around a bit more. The initial talk given prior to looking around was rather lengthy , and a long time to be standing around., leaving us less time on our own to enjoy & appreciate the site and it's surroundings. The gadgets & earplugs were good & well organised. Generally enjoyable , & I returned happy
