Stretch Out on the Golden Sands of Kos
Kos holidays are hugely popular in virtue of the long stretches of fine golden sand and warm azure waters around the island. Kos also has a very esteemed heritage and is dotted with places of historical interest. Kos was reputedly the home of Hippocrates, the world’s first recognised medical physician and there are temples on the island dedicated to various healing deities, which suggests that Kos may once have been a healing retreat. Kos holidays are certainly an opportunity to recuperate from the stresses of everyday life.
Kos town boasts some fine historical architecture, inspired by the former Roman, Venetian and Ottoman occupants. It is a bustling mixture of old and new, with the ruins of Greek and Roman buildings nestled among the modern bars and nightclubs that now make up much of the main town.
